I agree this is a bug, but external tools should not be parsing the
command output to synchronise with bzr, because a use could trivially do
any operation without using your tool and thus desynchronise things.
We have a growing library of robust machine processable apis in the
xmloutput plugin, which will be getting moved into the core.
