I'm pretty sure this is: bug #785116

It wouldn't surprise me too much if lp:ubuntu/* branches ended up as
stacked branches with absolutely 0 local revisions (vs the dev focus).

One option would be to use "bzr push --overwrite -r -2" or something
like that. "uncommit" fails because it is trying to show the log of the
last commit.
