This do apparently not work with released Mercurial version numbers/names:

I suggest you clone from http://selenic.com/hg and use the stable branch 
there. That is what all other test suite users do.

inotify is kind of experimental and unstable ... but usually the test 
pass without problems. I guess it will pass if you try again.
