A friend ran into this problem while trying to branch off an svn repository. The problem seems to be in his username. (I've disguised the names but left pertinent data in place).
This seems to have taken bzr out of the running as a choice for the company's svn replacement.
$ bzr branch https://svn.example.com/partners/example-partner/Planner/trunk planner
HTTPS svn.example.com, Realm: 'Example Subversion repository' username: Erich Xæmple
bzr: failed to report crash using apport:
