Thanks; I knew I must be missing something. I think this option would
deserve some prominent mention in the bazaar documentation about
centralized workflows.

Doesn't this mean that every developer must keep two branches around for
every branch they are working on? One that serves as a copy of the
central branch so that it can be merged into, and the other where the
real work happens? Sounds awkward to me.
