You are right. In any case, I favor the current behavior: update is
carried out only on newly pulled csets. IMO, 'hg pull -u' should be
considered a shortcut function that blindly update repo when nothing
new has been pulled.

I kinda agree with Colin that the help text need to reflect this more
correctly. Perhaps something like this?

 -u --update     update the working directory to tip after pulling new
changesets

hmm...
