Okay, this is getting interesting…
So I disabled the keyring extension and tried with:
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.9.1+9-2ef2d3a5cd2d)

The problem was the same (with the exception of asking for credentials initially)

Now I am back home and not using that high-latency satellite network connection and I tried again with the same version of Mercurial, still with the keyring extension disabled, from the same repo on the same laptop - it worked perfectly.

I still don't get it.

[here's the last failure]

[I get home and try again - in same console window I re-run the last command]

Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.9.1+9-2ef2d3a5cd2d)

Yet the web front-end seemed to be working fine when I was on the other connection.  I got a log of the remote repo without a problem.
