As indicated by the message, this is an issue with your configuration, not a bug in bazaar.

Do:

    ls -l ~/.ssh

All the files need to be owned by your user and not writeable to by other users. Your private key should not be readable by other users.

I encountered this problem with the Bazaar plugin for eclipse and an ssh connection with rsa key. Can not connect with the same error message. I solved it by installing the ssh-askpass package which allowed exclipse to prompt me for the password phrase through a GUI.
