That is quite strange.  It's likely this will not be fixed until it
can be reproduced by an appropriate developer.  Barring that, you may
want to try:

hg --debugger ci -m second

Single step through the failure, write the output to a file, zip it
up, then post a link here or attach it to a bug report.
