? The coercion is supposed to work around just that "weird bug", as I
understand this.
But this comment is likely to be obsolete ("SageX") anyway; did you try
removing the `<object>`?

`hg annotate ...` (an alias for `blame` ;-) ) gives the changeset number,
then `hg log [-v] ...` to see ''who'' made that change.

Well, [SunOS/Solaris] SPARC (V9), but the ''64-bit'' port (including
x86_64) is still incomplete AFAIK. (There's some wiki page on it, and a
couple of meta-tickets; or ask Dave Kirkby, who did most if not all of it
on his own.)
