I think you might be misunderstanding the bug, Ben.

This is 'log --revprop'. The issue is not that nothing happened in
that revision (maybe many things happened), but rather that he used a
non-existent URL and it still succeeded -- because the URL still
"encompassed" the right repository, even though the path within the
repository doesn't exist.

So if it's a bug, it's a rather mild one.
