Thanks for checking.  I also had one from February 2010 that was
clean.

I'm also able to generate an archive that is clean up to this changeset:

  changeset:   13329:80f7564a3849
  user:        John W. Eaton <address@hidden>
  date:        Wed Oct 12 12:18:27 2011 -0400
  summary:     handle class objects in num2cell

from the current archive that seems to have problems.  The next
changeset is

  changeset:   13330:583c15dd487b
  parent:      -1:000000000000
  user:        Jacob Dawid <address@hidden>
  date:        Tue Apr 05 00:12:18 2011 +0200
  summary:     Initial commit.

and this is where things start to go bad for me.  Note the strange
parent ID.  Is that correct?  I thought the gui branch was a clone of
Octave with the gui directory added?  Is that not correct?

I can get to a clean archive by doing

  hg clone /screwed/up/archive/octave
  cd octave
  hg strip 583c15dd487b

but then after

  hg pull -r 583c15dd487b /screwed/up/archive/octave

I see the following verify failure:
