This is a tag inserted by cvsps (the C program, not the Python cvsps
that is now built in to mercurial).  Here is a comment on it from the
source code:

    /*
     * if all of the other members of this patchset are also 'after' the tag
     * then this is a 'funky' patchset w.r.t. the tag.  however, if some are
     * before then the patchset is 'invalid' w.r.t. the tag, and we mark
     * the members individually with 'bad_funk' ,if this tag is the
     * '-r' tag.  Then we can actually split the diff on this patchset
     */

But I gather there are several ways that a patchset can be 'funky'.

You might try converting using the built-in cvsps.  This is the default
in current versions of mercurial.
