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.
