Oh. I guessed that you were building your own version. But you telling 
facts is better than me guessing ;-)

I assume that version should be fine. Many do however use TortoiseHg's 
version instead.

In that case I don't know what is going on and my guesses were wrong. 
AFAIK mingw32 runs .exe files exactly like native windows do, so I 
wouldn't expect mingw32 to cause any difference. Cygwin is another story.

Please keep the discussion on the list - someone else might know the answer.
