That's where things started going downhill.  When you run "hg ci -A",
an editor fires up, where you get a chance to write a commit log entry
for the changeset you are about to create.

By hitting ^Z you sent the editor to the background.  Mercurial is still
waiting for you to write a commit log and quit from the editor.

The file is still 'modified in the workspace' and uncommitted.

Use "fg" to bring back the editor.  Write a commit log.  Save it, and
quit the editor.
