I found myself wishing the same thing as I tried to get together a
patch for you.  I noticed that 'bk import' has a -C option which will
let you mess with the changeset before you commit it, but 'bk receive'
doesn't, AFAIK.  It would be nice if it did (or if it was easier to
modify an existing changeset).
