Some users ended up doing commits with a committer email / hostname set that was invalid or private. See bug 549310.

Other than running "bzr whoami", it should be possible to prevent this error by setting the EMAIL or BZR_EMAIL environment variables. bzr doesn't really care about whether those values are set to a valid email address, just that they are set.
