Indeed the crash needs more introspection. I can't reproduce a crash here with TortoiseHg 2.9.1 (Mercurial-2.7.1, Python-2.7.3) installation.
"hg serve --port 8000 --debug" shows this log on a repository with picture content and a Firefox browser access of first the file browsing and then directly the raw content via "http://localhost:8000/raw-file/fdf0fe58b8a1/Product/Project/Resources/Product_failed_16x16.png":
listening at http://host.company.net:8000/ (bound to *:8000)

Could perhaps the file-size be the reason for the crash?

I'm not sure how easy it would be to get WEBDAV support patched-in, though.
