Possible workaround would be

bzr --no-plugins merge /path/to/other/branch

--
All the dude wanted was his rug back

I attach attach the commands log and .bzr.log

bzr merge --no-plugins ../feature_externals

succeeds, but

bzr commit -m "merged with ../feature_externals"

fails:

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "D:/bzr_tests/trunk/ext-modules/ext-1/".

Here is the commands list, the corresponding part of .bzr.log is attached:
D:\bzr_tests\trunk>bzr revert
-D .bzrignore
-D .bzrmeta/
-D .bzrmeta/externals
-D .bzrmeta/externals-snapshot

D:\bzr_tests\trunk>bzr merge --no-plugins ../feature_externals
+N .bzrignore
+N .bzrmeta/
+N .bzrmeta/externals
+N .bzrmeta/externals-snapshot
All changes applied successfully.

D:\bzr_tests\trunk>bzr commit -m "externals-add"
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "D:/bzr_tests/trunk/ext-modules/ext-1/".
