It's probably just using the public_branch location verbatim, and
this wasn't stored including the user name.

The HTTP URI doesn't need any authentication, so it doesn't need to
worry about a user name and SSH key.

It doesn't deal with the general problem of the local and LP usernames
being different though. That's not a problem specific to bzr, but bzr
could perhaps do better at handling it, as ssh to bazaar.launchpad.net
via bzr should generally use your launchpad user name if one is set.

Thanks,
