The same happened to me yesterday.  My sequence was

Edit in local branch, as recommended. Commit.

In trunk:
bzr update
bzr merge ../branch

From Emacs C-x v d

Mark all edited files. Type v.
Use vc specialised functions to pull the Changelog into the commit
message, add an extra one liner at the top.
C-c C-c
Bzr complains about single file commits.


Really, this needs to be made to work, and the frequent respondants to
queries such as this need to be less condescending toward the people
reporting these problems and admit that the tools need improving to
match the workflow expected by the users, not the other way around!
