Ah-hah...I have tracked it down to this in my .hgrc file:

[defaults]
status = -q

I use hg mostly for sysadmin stuff and often have lots of files in a
directory that aren't checked in. But I use hg status often to see
what has been modified and do not want to see all the noise by the
files that are not checked in. So I use this default. Apparently it
confuses vc-hg. Not sure if emacs could handle this better somehow but
it isn't a big deal. I have commented it out of my .hgrc for now.

Thanks a lot for your help in troubleshooting this and sorry for
wasting your time with what turns out to be a non-emacs bug.
