Hey Ryan,
It looks like Dave B. has come to rescue with an egg and a patch that
implements this:
https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/pull-request/626/upgrade-mercurial-egg-to-324
It probably won't be back-ported to the forthcoming January release
but I would suspect the raw patch
(https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/galaxy/galaxy-central/diff/davebgx/galaxy-central:625bf1fd88ee..63d901ca0e6e)
will apply cleanly against the last few releases. If you have some
time and want to apply it to your release and let us know if it fixes
your problems that would probably help the pull request along.
-John
