Discrepancy in outputs from "hg log"

I'm seeing discrepancies in the files reported using:

--template "{files}\n"

and the files in the diff obtained with the --patch option.
This occurs for all variations of the "files" template argument, also 
occurs for "incoming" and "outgoing" commands and as far as I can see 
only occurs when the rev in question has two parents.

More often than not there are no files reported at all which is why I 
noticed it.

I realise that there are probably two different sets of files that could 
be reported in this case (one for each parent) but wouldn't the output 
of one of these sets be better than no output?  Probably the set that is 
associated with the parent that the --patch option uses for its output.

Cheers
Peter
