Looks like the problem is determining the committer identity.

I think the attached patch will fix this.  I've tested it locally and it
does result in the test commits having the john <at> doe.ee identity.
Could you test it on Windows?  Thanks.

It reproduces it in terms of commands but I guess that hg's identity
autodetection works differently from the test's temporary directory than
it does from the more ordinary directory where you tried these commands.
