It turns out I was mistaken.  Parsing the "Branch" and "Ancestor branch" 
lines of the "cvsps" output myself (using a parser based on the "hg 
convert" parser) gives me a plausible-looking revision tree.  For some 
reason this results in an hg repository whose revision tree is clearly 
wrong.

I'm afraid I can't share the CVS repository that results in this error, 
though I'll continue to investigate from here.  How heavily tested is 
"hg convert" against CVS trees that contain several branches?
