huzzah! I was aware of the trust thing and do have:

# cat /usr/local/etc/mercurial/hgrc
[trusted]
users = mercurial


buuuut at some point very recently (me editing file as root or something
else) the repo's .hgrc changed ownership away from the mercurial user
which went unnoticed. Working like a treat now.

Sorry for the noise and appreciate the help.

Cheers,
