I haven't tested it, but that's not what the doc (bzr help revisionspec) says:

submit:

    Diffing against this shows all the changes that were made in this branch,
    and is a good predictor of what merge will do.  The submit branch is
    used by the bundle and merge directive commands.  If no submit branch
    is specified, the parent branch is used instead.

    The common ancestor is the last revision that existed in both
    branches. Usually this is the branch point, but it could also be
    a revision that was merged.

    Examples:

      $ bzr diff -r submit:
