This shows that (vc-working-revision "/home/bronger/src/chantal/current/chantal/samples/remote_client/la2chantal.py") 

returns nil.  So probably for some reason
(vc-bzr-working-revision "/home/bronger/src/chantal/current/chantal/samples/remote_client/la2chantal.py") 

returns nil.  Can you try to debug why that happens?
