bzr: ERROR: Unprintable exception

[David Henningsson]

Steps to reproduce:

* Run a Swedish installation of 12.04
bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.precise (I guess any other branch will do as well)
bzr bd
While "bzr bd" is running, open a second terminal in the same directory and execute "bzr commit"

You will be met by:

bzr: ERROR: Unprintable exception LockContention: dict={'msg': IOError(11, 'Resursen tillf\xc3\xa4lligt otillg\xc3\xa4nglig'), 'lock': u'/tmp/ubuntu.precise/.bzr/checkout/dirstate'}, fmt='Could not acquire lock "%(lock)s": %(msg)s', error=UnicodeDecodeError('ascii', '[Errno 11] Resursen tillf\xc3\xa4lligt otillg\xc3\xa4nglig', 25, 26, 'ordinal not in range(128)')

The LockContention is probably correct (after all, I did do two bzr commands in parallel), but it would be nice if it could print a proper error message.
