Having a `pull` land you on a different branch seems like confusing behavior to be avoided. Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

In my case, I explicitly picked a target branch by using #syntax. I
thus "knew" what i wanted.

In the case of mq, the "branch" i'm on is generally irrelevant, and
thus it makes a lot more sense for me to want to move an mq to another
random branch when i do pull --rebase http://server/repo#branch
