Try this:
python -c 'import mercurial ; print mercurial.__file__'

and delete the libraries for Mercurial. Repeat until the python oneliner 
fails with an ImportError, then delete all the `hg` binaries and 
reinstall. It's a bit of a raindance, but it might work (I don't have a 
Lion system here to test against).
