Here's a similar error (yes, I am trying to break things)

  rm -rf foo1 foo2
  mkdir foo1 foo2
  cd foo1
  darcs inittree
  touch foo
  darcs add foo
  darcs record -a -m add_foo -A x
  darcs remove foo
  darcs record -a -m del_foo -A x
  cd ../foo2
  darcs inittree
  darcs pull ../foo1

The pull fails with

  [add_foo

  Shall I pull this patch? [ynvaswh] a
  So far so good... the merge succeeded.

  Fail: does not exist
  Action: removeFile
  Reason: No such file or directory
