I do; I maintain the mtn backend for DVC
http://www.xsteve.at/prg/emacs_dvc/dvc.html 

Note that I keep my working copy of DVC in monotone (of course), and I
don't update the bzr repository often (bzr is a pain!). I could put the
monotone version on ada-france if you want access.

Yes, in general, although I have not seen those exact reports

I disable vc-mtn, and use DVC.

To disable vc-mtn, remove Mtn from vc-handled-backends:

(setq vc-handled-backends '(CVS))


When vc-mtn first came out, I tried to fix it, but it had lots of
problems, and DVC is a much better approach. So I focused on DVC.

There was an effort to package DVC for debian; it seems to have stalled.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496930#19 

Followups for this should go to the DVC or monotone mailing lists:

https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev/
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-users

The monotone list is quite active, but I seem to be the only Emacs user
there.

I'm not clear who is supposed to be maintaining vc-mtn; discussing that
would go on the emacs-devel mailing list
