I'm not sure about the internals in bzr nor launchpad but when seeing something similiar with Git and various GUIs it often tend to be something in the background such as file permission change or LF/CR mix-up in an editor. The actual file is included in the commit (in the vcs) but the GUI doesn't show those changes (or detect them at all). Just a guess.
