We recommend not using subrepos unless you have to.

We recommend not using largefiles unless you have to.

So now you are in an especially desolate corner of Notrecommendedistan.

But indeed, this seems to be a recently introduced problem:

$ hg23 clone . l3
updating to branch default
cloning subrepo s from /home/mpm/a/l/l2/s
getting changed largefiles
1 largefiles updated, 0 removed
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg clone . l4
updating to branch default
cloning subrepo s from /home/mpm/a/l/l2/s
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Recommend you file a proper bug report so a) we won't forget about and
b) you'll get notified of progress.
