In addition to Andrew's reply - its not generally possible to fix this.

All clients from 1.6 through to 1.13.2 and 1.14 (assuming this fix gets
in) will generate broken stacked branches on sftp;, and 1.6 through to
1.13 will generate broken stacked branches on bzr+ssh.

Fortunately, stacking is slow and painful before 1.13, and therefor folk
are likely to upgrade :).
