Hi there. What's the appropriate format for a ChangeLog entry when closing out a issue, or when merging in a change from another branch?

My best guess was:

2010-07-12 Michael Hope michael.hope@linaro.org

lp:602171

For the Launchpad bugs part, I recommend noting this "LP: #1234" when the bug is being closed with this change and using "bzr --fixes lp:1234 commit". Use "LP #1234" when just referring to a related bug (which is not being closed by this change) -- note: no colon.

I'll let others comment on the specifics of the ChangeLog entry you provided (it seemed ok to me); all I know is that it's GNU ChangeLog style, and that there's a vim syntax plugin for it (and I would guess emacs) :-)
