hg help import says this:
        From and Subject headers of email message are used as default
        committer and commit message. All text/plain body parts before
        first diff are added to commit message.

Experimentally, I don't see what you're complaining about. Importing
this patch:
        From: author
        Subject: line 1
        
        line 2
        --- /dev/null   2007-10-27 21:56:45.000000000 -0500
        +++ a/foo       2007-11-02 13:24:45.000000000 -0500
        @@ -0,0 +1 @@
        +foo

Gives me this hg log:
        changeset:   0:f306f8745695
        tag:         tip
        user:        author
        date:        Fri Nov 02 13:26:11 2007 -0500
        summary:     line 1

Yeah, tests would be handy.
