I found another reason why this happens, On windows 7 the file
C:\Users\myuser1\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0\qbzr.conf got somehow corrupted
(sympom bzr command line works fine, but from tortoisebzr gives the same error).
Fix was to rename the file, relaunch Bazaar explorer and let them create a new one.
The complete bzr error I was getting was:
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.util.configobj.configobj.ConfigObjError: Parsing failed with several errors.
First error at line 1.

The corrupted contents of qbzr.conf are a chunk of .NET Fusion log viewer (how did they output end up there?):
