I did some further tests and got some interesting effects.
Number one: this problem occurs in about 30-50% of all cases if I work on a network share from our server.
More exciting is that Bazaar doesn't seem to be the reason for this problem. I just had an user who had a similar problem with another application (NI Labview) - it sometimes (about ~30% of the time) cannot delete and create a freshly compiled file on a network share due to not having the appropiate file access rights. This really looks like the same problem.

I will look deeper into this problem from the server side (Windows Server 2003 SBS - quite awful), but now these problems seem to indicate an underlying problem from our server. A quick fix for bzr may be to not only try to get a file once (and then print an error message with the errno), but to try this some more times. This may also help with bug #903218 and bug #901104.
