HTTP Error: 404 - Issue with Mercurial and Tortoise 2.x clients during PULL.

During a PULL the 2.x clients continually experience this 404 error.   
This has started after a secondary branch (we call STABLE) has been
closed/reopened and or after changes are transplanted (grafted) to it.
We primarily develop and use the "DEFAULT" branch.    However our deliverable
is stabilized periodically and then the “STABLE” branch is opened moving all
changes from the DEFAULT branch over to the new “STABLE”.
We also transplant code from “DEFAULT” to STABLE as necessary.

After either of the above scenarios occur the 2.x clients receive an HTTP 404
not found error.
The 1.x clients do not get this error.

We have been able to work around this issue in 2 different ways.   
1 - Revert the workstation's client to 1.x and pull works fine.
2 - Selectively pull one branch, then the other, then subsequent PULLS work
fine.
(Subsequent pulls work fine pulling either/both/all branches until the above
scenarios reoccur)

Trying the same command from DOS (Using the Mercurial TEXT command results in
the same issue, this makes be believe the issue is in Mercurial not the GUI
Tortoise.


Here are the details from the LOG on the client.
% hg --repository C:\Code-Branch\default\Formats pull --verbose --force
