Thank you for pursuing this so far, but I'm OK with stopping at this point.
Upstream has clarified that this behaviour is intended, and I can adapt my
configuration to the current behaviour.

In current mercurial, doc/manual.txt states
It is also possible to substitute the output of a Unix command in an
initialization file. This is accomplished by enclosing the command in
backticks (``). In Example 3.5, "Using external command's output in
configuration files", the output of the Unix command "uname -a" will be
substituted before the line is parsed. Since initialization files are
line oriented, only the first line of output from the Unix command will
be substituted.
and I consider that sufficient documentation of the current behaviour.
Kind regards,
Ray
