I think there's a bug both on the server side in Launchad and in the
bzr plugin. It's definitely a bug in Launchpad, you shouldn't see such
a traceback, you should get a Fault instance back. I have a branch
which allows for testing XMLRPC better so that we can ensure this isn't
broken, and we also need to pull in a fix from Zope3 upstream.

After that's fixed, the bzr plugin might have to be changed to catch all
the Fault instances to provide better error messages.
