Does bitbucket suggest that specific URL anywhere though? If you use a
non-specific rsync-style URL like
git at bitbucket.org:atlassian/python-bitbucket.git, Bazaar says:

brz: ERROR: Unsupported protocol for url "ssh://git@bitbucket.org/atlassian/python-bitbucket.git": Use bzr+ssh for Bazaar operations over SSH, e.g. "bzr+ssh://git@bitbucket.org/atlassian/python-bitbucket.git". Use git+ssh for Git operations over SSH, e.g. "git+ssh://git@bitbucket.org/atlassian/python-bitbucket.git".

Which does have the right formatting.

This isn't easily possible since the Git format doesn't support it. In
theory you can have a Bazaar branch to a remote Git branch, but this
comes with all sorts of other issues converting back and forth.

Not yet, but that's a good point. We're planning a larger overhaul of
the bookmarks/location aliases system, and that's definitely something
we should try and support.
