Thanks, you are right, but it did not help.

Here is what I done.
Since I am not sure whether the git-hg plugin was the culprit
I cloned the auctex repo again via hg clone, 

hg clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git auctex-hg

Then I run in my local repo

 hg export -r 6847::6851 -o mypatch.patch


And in the recently cloned auctex-hg repo

I run

hg import mypatch.patch

applying mypatch.patch
patching file doc/auctex.texi
Hunk #1 FAILED at 163
Hunk #3 FAILED at 2594
Hunk #4 FAILED at 2622
3 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file doc/auctex.texi.rej
abort: patch failed to apply

So something is wrong here very wrong
