See bug 388275 for the wish to configure this in a file.

bzr does check isatty at the moment, but it checks it only on stdin, whereas it would be more appropriate to check whether stderr is a tty before showing the progress bar.

David, in the case where bzr is showing a progress bar, leaving aside for the moment how we decide when that should be done, where do you think it should be sent, if not to stderr? stdout? /dev/tty?
