Just had a look and the only issue i found was that i had to strip the
comments from the series file.
My sequence was a little different as i did:-
hg clone xxxx
hg qtags
hg update -u tagname
hg qinit
cp patches to .hg/patches
cat xxx/broken-out/series | grep -v "#" > .hg/patches/series
hg qpush -a
and it all went ok.
Hope that helped a bit

ps yes mq should support comments in the series file.
pps No idea about your bug but if you don't do a qinit mq might not
like it... and my hacked up version it defiantly wont like it.
