Would it be possible to push the importance higher since there is no workaround and the error should be more a warning...

hi, all,

there is an attempted workaround for this in lp:~mbp/bzr/606537-mkdir

if you could try running bzr from there and let me know if it does in fact fix it in your environment, that would be great.
