I did reproduce this, didn't go as far as you to insure independence
from local setup (only `HGRCPATH=`), and I did reproduce with the same
error, however…

the local clone worked for me with the current head of the stable
branch, so I guess the problem will be gone with 5.9.1. The goot thing
is that it doesn't seem to need a corruption fix on the repo being
locally cloned.

I did not follow closely the fixes that occurred on the stable branch
after 5.9, this is perhaps not a surprise to the people that were
involved with that.

Thanks for reporting,
