No, only this behavior needed. So UNC paths like 
\\server\directory\repo\branch will work for the windows people.

Yes. I was busy last weeks and lost the track of this bug. Apparently I 
can provide workaround in QBzr to avoid passing command-line with 
backslashes to subprocess and only using temporary file. The bad thing 
is both bzr and QBzr missed the fix/workaround for this problem.
