Thanks for telling us.

Since your situation is very special, and since vc-hg-root-log-format
is a defcustom, I think for you to customize the value to make it work
in your setup is exactly the right solution of this problem.  So I'm
closing this bug report, as I think nothing has to be done for it in
Emacs core.

In GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
 of 2017-09-17 built on LAPHROAIG
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 10.0.15063

All changelog entries placed on one line on vc-print-root-log for HG with \n
symbols between entries.

When I changed:

 (defcustom vc-hg-root-log-format
   `(,(concat "{rev}:{ifeq(branch, 'default','', '{branch}')}"
              ":{bookmarks}:{tags}:{author|person}"
-             " {date|shortdate} {desc|firstline}\\n")
+             " {date|shortdate} {desc|firstline}\n")

it starts working fine.

I use hg.exe wrapper around Cygwin Python script hg, stripped version is:

  int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    execvp(cmd, argv);
  }

It comes after hg in PATH so execvp loads script instead itself.
