I have 2.0.3-1~bpo50+1 on the remote server, so I assume that's the
solution. When I try it with another server, with 2.1.1-1, it does
indeed work.

The bug is therefore a documentation bug. The urlspec documentation
should include something like this (e.g., at the end of the /~/
description):

        For bzr+ssh, the remote version of bzr must be at least 2.1.

Retitling bug accordingly.
