Broken local clone

After upgrading to mercurial 5.9 (via pip3) I have found an issue.

I am encountering errors when I attempt to clone from one local (directory)
repository to another.

As an experiment I created a new login account (run) on my Ubuntu 20.04
system to eliminate any configuration concerns.

>From this login I did the following:

(Clone the mercurial repository)
hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg

This completed without issue. I then attempted to create a local clone:
hg clone hg test

I received the following error and mercurial aborted:

abort: No such file or directory:
'/home/run/test/.hg/store/data/contrib/plan9/hgrc.d.hg/9diff.rc.i'

I downgraded mercurial to 5.8 and tried again and everything worked as
expected.

Has anyone else seen this?
