Here's what I did, and the traceback I got, which includes details on the versions of everything:

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error.
Please report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
including this traceback, and a description of what you
were doing when the error occurred.
I have python-subversion 1.4.4dfsg1-1ubuntu3 (the one from ubuntu gutsy I think).
I can reproduce this.
Checking out the gtk+ trunk worked fine a couple of months ago.
