This was discovered by others just some hours ago, too. It happened
before, but nobody did know why.

I haven't tried, maybe you can move the .hg directory away and point
a symlink to it? I don't know if 'make clean' follows symlinks.
Another (not yet implemented) way would be the $HGROOT or $HGHOME
mechanism proposed some weeks ago, so the .hg directory would be
somewhere else.
