The behavior should be consistent. In Emacs 24/25 vc-dir-mode for Mercurial behaved exactly like Git. Since the behavior for Mercurial changed some time after Emacs 24, I just assumed (probably because of my bias towards `dvc`) that the new behavior was intended.
I really have no preference how the faulty behavior is fixed, since I have long since defined some advice before `vc-dir-prepare-status-buffer`. I have also not checked the documentation to find out what the intended behavior is.
