In response to Martin Pool:
I think you'r right about that, the fact that the branch owner is not specified may well be the cause (didn't I specify that the code is owned by marionnet-drivers by default somewhere? Mmm, I'm not so sure anymore; maybe there isn't a default...).
In fact I've just noticed that making a branch *explicitly* owned by the team with bzr works:

bzr push --verbose lp:~marionnet-drivers/ocamlbricks/booboo

And I can also make several branches in the same project with identical
names, and different owners:

bzr push --verbose lp:~saiu/ocamlbricks/booboo
bzr push --verbose lp:~marionnet-dev/ocamlbricks/booboo

I wasn't expecting this, because often we pull, merge or get from
branches with an unspecified owner. This has always worked:

bzr get --verbose lp:ocamlbricks/trunk

Yet, this doesn't work when there are three booboo branches:

bzr get --verbose lp:ocamlbricks/booboo
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Crypto/Util/randpool.py:40: RandomPool_DeprecationWarning: This application uses RandomPool, which is BROKEN in older releases. See http://www.pycrypto.org/randpool-broken
RandomPool_DeprecationWarning)
bzr: ERROR: Permission denied: "Cannot create 'booboo'. Only Bazaar branches are allowed."

I delete two booboo branches from Launchpad, the ones owned by
marionnet-drivers and marionnet-dev; the branch owned by saiu still
exist, and I try to refer to it without specifying an owner. No luck:

The same happens if I only leave the booboo branch owned by marionnet-
drivers. But then why is trunk, which I can get without specifying an
owner, different?

Again, specifying the owner works:
bzr get --verbose lp:~saiu/ocamlbricks/booboo

Of course I know that "maximum recursion depth exceeded" wasn't intended
as a direct response to the specific error condition; I was being
sarcastic which was not a constructive reaction. I apologize for that --
but I assure you that the situation was pretty frustrating. Also look at
the message above: I think that "Cannot create 'booboo'. Only Bazaar
branches are allowed." is also a quite bad error message for a *get*
failure where the branch indeed exists (even more than one!).

I like bzr but I think it can be made friendlier.

By the way, I'm Luca Saiu; I also was at the GHM in Den Haag, but I don't think we spoke; happy to meet another GNU guy.
And sorry again.

Bug description:
I can't upload code to one of branches in my project. First time it's look like:

$ bzr push lp:ubuntu-ru-portal/dokuwiki-userlink-plugin --use-existing-dir
bzr: ERROR: Permission denied: "+branch/ubuntu-ru-portal/dokuwiki-userlink-plugin/"

Then I try to execute this command again and it show a lot of such errors:

$ bzr push lp:ubuntu-ru-portal/dokuwiki-userlink-plugin --use-existing-dir
Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__' in <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> ignored
Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__' in <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> ignored

But I can correctly push code to all other branches of this project, can commit with checkout. I have problems only with this branch. I've tried to recreate it at launchpad, tried to recreate local branch, but errors still here.
