Looks like I can use 'hg debugsetparents' for exactly this purpose:

    hg debugsetparents REV1 [REV2]

    manually set the parents of the current working directory

         This is useful for writing repository conversion tools, but
    should be used
         with care. For example, neither the working directory nor the
    dirstate is
         updated, so file status may be incorrect after running this
    command.

I hope that debug command sticks around...
