This appears to be caused by Mercurial calling locale.setlocale(), which affects strip() in 2.6 and earlier.

Given this little scriptlet:

print [c for c in range(256) if chr(c) != chr(c).rstrip()]
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8")
print [c for c in range(256) if chr(c) != chr(c).rstrip()]

Python 2.6.5 outputs:

[9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 32]
[9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 32, 133, 160]

And Python 2.7 outputs:

[9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 32]
[9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 32]
