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.

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
