OK.  Jackpot.  Disabling pbranch in my .hgrc fixed the problem.

Moreover, updating my pbranch source directory to the latest version 
also fixes the problem.  So I'd say that the cause was a library 
mismatch between the pbranch version that I had checked out and hg 
version 1.3 (as you suggested).

Thanks,
Peter
