*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error. This probably indicates a
    bug in Bazaar. You can help us fix it by filing a bug report at
        https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
    including this traceback and a description of the problem.

Thanks for the report! Did you have your ssh key added in pageant at the time? If so, can you manually connect to bazaar.launchpad.net using plink - it should accept your key then say there are no shells available on the server.
