Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

Bzr 2.6.0+bzr6595-6ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Vivid also prints 2.7.0dev1 when running `bzr --version`. Based on the package version number, what I believe happened was that 2.6.0 was released and upstream continued with new development for the next planned release (2.7.0). Then for some reason some of the features or bug fixes was needed for the Ubuntu package, so they grabbed a newer revision (bzr6595) and made a package based on that. So 2.6.0+bzr6595-6ubuntu1 is really 2.6.0 plus some of the changes on the road to 2.7.0, which would explain why the internal bzr version claims to be the development version of 2.7.0
