It looks like my issue1255 might be related.

issue1298 was a duplicate of this one.

In addition to getting this failure with the "zooko_n_cgalvan/buildbot" 
repository described in issue1298, I just got this failure with vmiklos's darcs-
hooks repository.  I'm still using darcs-2.1.2 on both ends.

To reproduce, get vmiklos's darcs-hooks repository from: http://vmiklos.hu/project/darcs-hooks

Then do a "darcs put" of that repository to a remote host.

Okay I upgraded both sides to the latest darcs-2.2-pre and got the same error.  
Here is the stdout (log.txt) and the stderr (log2.txt) from "darcs put -v -v -v --
debug":

I declare this bug to be a duplicate of issue1255.  Please re-open if you
disagree.  (thanks to zooko for making the links).

For what it's worth, it may be a useful experiment to try creating a darcs-1
patch (using a darcs 2 binary) and apply it to a darcs-2 repo... the idea being
to see if we get a Malformed patch bundle complaint.
