cannot branch some branches, but message means nothing to me

[Al Stone]

If I try the following, I get a very odd message:

$ bzr branch lp:ubuntu/oneiric/sqlite3 sqlite3-oneiric.bzr
bzr: ERROR: Revision {<email address hidden>} not present in "Graph(StackedParentsProvider(bzrlib.repository._LazyListJoin(([CachingParentsProvider(None)], []))))".

and of course, there is no branch created. I've also seen this with lp:ubuntu/oneiric/eglibc, though someone else's name is reported.

This is running Oneiric, and bzr 2.4.2-0ubuntu1. The ~/.bzr.log follows:
