As Mikk said below, the problem is caused by BE using a global L variable that probably gets overwritten by some other (also badly written) addon that's also using a global L... BE leaks some other globals, too, that can lead to similar problems. I suggest you contact BE's developer and ask him/her to clean up the code a bit (most importantly with regards to global pollution).
I'll fix the version string generation so as not to confuse users with two different version in case of an error though (Bazooka.lua in v2.1.3 is the same as it was in r207, I just hat to bump the interface version in Bazooka.toc without touching any other files to make Bazooka "WoW-4.2 ready", that's why you see the "old" revision number in the trace).
cheers, mitch
