I haven't used bzr on ecryptfs very much, but I know others have.
Personally I have all of /home on a luks-encrypted partition.

To be more precise, ecryptfs is configured to have a ~/Private
directory, the encrypted representation of which is stored at
~/.Private an the underlying repository.

It sounds like you want to use bzr as a backup tool, which can work,
but generally things designed to be backup tools work better.  What
are you trying to accomplish or what problem are you trying to protect
against?
