It apparently works fine for me.. If you follow the exact same steps I did, do you get different results? If so, please send the output like I did. I did a full checkout of trunk (from the URL you provided, "svn co URL pkg-java"), did "cd pkg-java/libgtk-java", and did this:
bash jade libgtk-java $ dch "test"
bash jade libgtk-java $ dch -r ""
bash jade libgtk-java $ dpkg-parsechangelog
