OK, I'm convinced :-)

It has nothing to do with vc-bzr. It is still Tramp, which puzzles you.
When Tramp uses scp as transfer method, it applies an internal
optimization. For all files smaller than `tramp-copy-size-limit', it
still uses ssh, because calling scp is an overhead, which is to heavy
when copying small files. Your file "setup-openmrs-for-pilot" seems to
be small enough, whereas "dirstate" seems to be longer than 10KB (the
default limit).
So I recommend you to apply ssh as default method for that remote
host. Something like
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-method-alist
'("\\`192\\.168\\.12\\.107\\'" "" "ssh"))
shall do it.
