Hi,
it's not enough to have the remote being registered (which you have
here), you also need it to be "attached" to the branch you want to
push.
In your case you should do something like
$ git config branch.develop.remote bitbucket
When that's ok, you should not be prompted anymore.
In the current master of magit, there's now new options for using
--set-upstream when pushing. That would also do it.

You should enter only the remote name.
Now we should probably safeguard this, and not configuring
branch.<branch>.remote when the value is invalid.
Since we don't, you observe the error messages you sent
('HEAD..bitbucket/develop/develop' instead of
'HEAD..bitbucket/develop' for ranges).
You can fix it by hand in git config, by running the correct command:
$ git config branch.develop.remote bitbucket
Hope this helps,
Yann.
