Right you are. After I posted, I realized I hadn't clearly stated my 
questions. This could be something about my setup, but... I've only just 
joined this mailing list; I don't have an historical perspective.

Is this expected behavior? If so, any idea what changed over the last 6 
- 9 months? Was this a conscious change in behavior?

I'd been using this setup for years; the old behavior, which gives a 
higher degree of interoperability (at least in this case), is certainly 
natural. If the Win program didn't do anything explicit to disassociate 
from the tty, why shouldn't it work? Does windows have a concept of 
controlling tty? Is there something mercurial/python could, as a native 
app, that would get this to work?

I know little about windows' internals. I understand that even though it 
used to work, that it may have been a 'fortunate" accident.
