Ok, so the next step is to understand which lock is attempted, either by
its file name or (better) by a traceback.

Do you more precise info than 

  bzr://server/project/branch

i.e. at some hint about whether it's a branch, a repo, the repo's
branch, is there a working tree there ?

Knowing what bzr version were you using before the upgrade may also help
refine the diagnosis.

That's the first report of this kind (apart for the one mentioned above
which has been encountered on a pretty old setup so we ~know what
happened there) so the sooner we sort it out, the better.
