Please file a bug.  It should only fail if the existing proposal is in a
non-terminal state, like "work-in-progress" or "needs review".  And even
then, we could support a --resubmit that worked like the web UI's resubmit.

The behaviour you describe is a bug, but there are many others like it.
 Launchpad assumes feature branches all over the place in its design
(e.g. linking bugs to branches), and behaves badly when branches are reused.

I used to re-use branches, (remember bzr.ab?) but with Launchpad, you're
just fighting against the design when you do that.  So you may wish to
reconsider that practice.
