Seems I needed a newer darcs - the one shipped with Ubuntu is 1.0.9, which appears to be too old, and it works when I build a new 2.0.2 from the tarball. (Anybody with write access to the front page who can make a note of minimum version required to 'darcs get' the repository?)
AFAIK, the current darcs darcs repo should be gettable with any 2.x version of darcs. Since darcs is self-hosting, you gotta expect bootstrapping issues when using older-than-the-current-release versions to checkout the repo. (Hence grabbing the source tarball.)
FYI, Iain Lane made a darcs package for 2.0.2: https://launchpad.net/~laney/+archive
You should also be able to backport it from Intrepid (Hardy+1). There may be a hardy-backports version, too, but packages.ubuntu.com won't talk to me just now.
