This is a great suggestion. I had no idea Mercurial could do anything
like this.

I played with this idea today and got it to work the way I want --
mostly. :)  It does effectively do what I asked about in the original
post, but Ted's suggestion of multiple heads (possibly in the patch
queue repo) got me thinking and I might try something different. For
example, it's common to upload several updated versions of a paper to
the arxiv. With this setup, there's no history of the state of my
document when I uploaded it -- I can't use tags to revert to the exact
version I uploaded previously. Version controlling the patch repo might
do this.
