Update to b73 implies you are coming from an earlier build of the JDK 8 
forest, where nashorn also does not exist as well.   Mercurial doesn't 
know of nashorn's existence yet.

If you have a later build of the JDK 8 forest, you are better off with a 
new clone, rather than expecting mercurial will downgrade your repos.    
I would not want mecurial removing my new repos I've just created within 
my forest, if I happen to do a pull from a forest that didn't have my 
new repo.
