hg status output

Since today (that is after my Ubuntu upgraded my hg to 2.6 version) 'hg status'
reports dozens of files as missing, that is prefixed by "!", without real
reason. I found it quite puzzling and tried everything I could (hg revert the
file; delete file/whole folder in terminal and hg revert it; update to
different branch) but nothing seems to fix the problem. Then I noticed that all
my clones of the repository started to manifest the same problem and so I tried
to downgrade hg client to 2.5.4 and that indeed made the problem go away. Looks
like a problem in 2.6 release?

The files reported as missing are sitting on the disk and there is nothing
wrong with them. The repository I'm using is open source one:
http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/ (it is quite big!).

Attached is the log showing output of:
* hg --version
* hg status
* hg revert + hg status

Thanks. Let me know if I can provide more info.
