For some reason, your minimalistic example does not work for me (even
without any recoding) if there are several commits:

$ hg init repo1 ; cd repo1
$ fortune > test.txt ; hg commit -A -m test
adding test.txt
$ fortune > test.txt ; hg commit -A -m test
$ fortune > test.txt ; hg commit -A -m test
$ fortune > test.txt ; hg commit -A -m test
$ hg export -o ../1.patch
$ cd ..
$ hg init repo2 ; cd repo2
$ hg import ../1.patch
applying ../1.patch
unable to find 'test.txt' for patching
(use '--prefix' to apply patch relative to the current directory)
1 out of 1 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file test.txt.rej
abort: patch failed to apply
$
$ hg import --bypass ../1.patch
applying ../1.patch
unable to find 'test.txt' for patching
(use '--prefix' to apply patch relative to the current directory)
abort: patch failed to apply
$


What am I doing wrong? Can you try your example if you already have
several commits in repo-koi8?
