All three now actually perform the action specified:

$ ls
CONTRIBUTORS  PKG-INFO        doc/       hgmerge*      notes.txt   tests/
COPYING       README          hg*        hgweb.cgi     rewrite-log
MANIFEST.in   comparison.txt  hgeditor*  hgwebdir.cgi  setup.py
Makefile      contrib/        hgext/     mercurial/    templates/
$ hg rm README
$ ls
CONTRIBUTORS  PKG-INFO        hg*        hgweb.cgi     rewrite-log
COPYING       comparison.txt  hgeditor*  hgwebdir.cgi  setup.py
MANIFEST.in   contrib/        hgext/     mercurial/    templates/
Makefile      doc/            hgmerge*   notes.txt     tests/
