The problem is in the vc-bzr backend.

vc-bzr-status should return nil when called for a file that has been
removed.  It does not.

Also it looks like there's a disconnect between 
bzr help status
[snip]
 unknown
      Not versioned and not matching an ignore pattern.


and the actual output:

bzr status NON_EXISTENT_FILE
nonexistent:
  NON_EXISTENT_FILE
bzr: ERROR: Path(s) do not exist: NON_EXISTENT_FILE
Exit 3
