Bazaar works just fine from the command-line for all repositories for 
me.  When I do vc-dir on a Git repository, it reports no errors.  When I 
do vc-dir on another Bazaar repository (not Emacs related), I get the 
same error as in this bug report.

This leads me to believe there's a bug in vc-bzr.el or at least room for 
improvement.  I feel that Emacs should at least be able to display the 
entire error message in a readable fashion and not just assume the 
operation worked.
