That's a good point. It may be that the archive we are using to backport
bzr-builder already has a bzr in for other reasons, and so that is
getting picked up.

Checking...

It does not, so indeed the newer branch formats can't be built on older
releases.

about this.

Depending on how we fix this we could then not put the new classes in to
bzr-builder.
