I experienced the same problem when I used bzr on remote server (no X) on Debian sid.
The same issue was brought up recently on http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/09/02/%23ubuntu-devel.txt . The participants there found that the regression is caused by a change in dbus.
The workaround, as suggested in the IRC log, is to uninstall bzr-dbus for the time being.
