FWIW: Many users do not think win32text is nice and would like to have 
something else. See http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/EOLTranslationPlan .

Have you tried specifying the filters in the opposite order? (See the 
patch and thread on 
http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2010-January/017881.html)

AFAIK there is no builtin filter for "do nothing", but on windows you 
can probably use
**.texi = tempfile: copy INFILE OUTFILE
