Heads and closed branches

Recently I closed a long inactive branch in my repository. Since then,
"hg branches" lists only the other two branches, but "hg heads -a"
displays all three heads, including the changeset (with no changes to
the working directory) by which I closed that branch; and yet that
changeset is listed as belonging to that branch, and "hg help heads"
says that -a lists only "the active branch heads from open branches".
How can that branch be both open (to hg heads) and closed (to hg
branches)? Or what did I misunderstand?
Normally I have [ui] verbose=true on two successive lines of my hgrc
but adding --config ui.verbose=false to the command-line changes nothing
at all.
Using Mercurial 1.3.1 as distributed with openSUSE Linux 11.3 released a
few days ago.
Best regards,
Tony.
