I use this "daily development" scenario every day at work, and it is no problem at all. Mercurial will just recognise the changed subrepos as dirty working-copy (as it should), and "merge" the new update-version into the working-copy if the standard update-and-merge strategy is applicable.

Do you perhaps use "-C" all the time?
