i've managed to execute 'make test' in /usr/ports/lang/python/2.7, using ports/objdirs mounted over NFS, and with DEBUG=-g. unfortunately the results are not enlightening about the mercurial issue.
for brevity, i'll paste the end of the test suite, but i can paste the full output of make if desired. what follows the test suite output is the egdb backtrace of one of the produced core files; they are both the same afaict.

GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x2dd052c32c and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame. This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or the frames below it. This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or stack pointer.
