You can only list bzip2 as a preference if you actually have bzip2 support. Having bzip2 installed on your machine is only half the issue - you also have to have a GnuPG that is compiled to actually *use* that bzip2. If "gpg --version" does not display "bzip2" as one of the supported algorithms, then you will need to build a GnuPG that has bzip2 support enabled.
