I have the 1.4 rpm installed, but this doesn't include the tests.  So I did 
(in my fedora source directory):

Downloading mercurial-1.4.tar.gz...
Copying from ../mercurial-1.4.tar.gz

+ cd /home/nbecker/fedora/mercurial/F-12
+ rm -rf mercurial-1.4

+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd mercurial-1.4
+ /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w .
+ exit 0

Now I have the source.
 cd mercurial-1.4
 cd tests
python run-tests.py


These failures all appear to be line wrapping.  Example:
