export BZR_PDB=1 will drop you into a debugger, is that good enough? I don't
think it should be listed in the manpage though.

How would I ever know about it then? It should be listed somewhere it
seems; at least on the manpage there's a section for it. That's the
first place I looked; from there I don't know where I'd naturally be
inclined to look. Well, I guess I wasn't inclined to look anywhere else...

confirmed/minor, needs documentation.

The -Derror option, documented under "bzr help global-options", does exactly what was originally requested.
