Bug in largefiles support?

Apologies if this is a dupe - I didn't see any obvious matches in the bug DB.

This is Mercurial version 2.2.2

Transcript:

    $ hg st
    ? largefile
    ? somefile
    $ hg add somefile
    $ hg ci -m "arbitrary initial commit"
    $ hg st
    ? largefile
    $ hg add --large largefile
    $ hg ci -m "Added large file"
    $ hg st
    $ hg st --rev 0
    $ hg st --rev 0 --rev tip
    A largefile

Note: if you perform the exact same actions, but without the
'--largefile' flag, you get this different output in the
second-to-last command:

    $hg st --rev 0
    A largefile                 # <-- the file is reported, this time

Seems like a bug to me - or do I misunderstand something?

Thanks
-John
