Adding the ops list <ops at openjdk.java.net> in case others have seen this.

FWIW, I see the same thing.  I don't have an explanation yet.

I created fresh clones and then tried 'hg defpath -du tbell':

works: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/sandbox
works: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/submit11
fails: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/submit

I am stumped at the moment, but I will keep digging.
