I can't get Tortoisehg (1.0) to work with subrepos

I have a directory structure like this:

root
  .hg
  .hgsub
  .hgsubstate
  Customer1
    Project1
      .hg
      foo.txt
    Project2
      .hg
  Customer2
    Project3
      .hg

the .hgsub file under root looks like

Customer1\Project1=Customer1\Project1  
Customer1\Project2=Customer1\Project2  
Customer2\Project3=Customer2\Project3  

If modify the file Customer1\Project1\foo.txt and commit from the root it works

>hg ci -m "command line commit"
committing subrepository customer1\project1

in Tortoisehg customer1\project1 is displayed with status S (subrepo) but when commiting I get a message

abort: customer1/project1: no match under directory!

Is this scenario not supported or am I doing something wrong?

The doc says:
"TortoiseHg 1.0 introduced rudimentary support for subrepositories, and only in the commit / status tool. When Mercurial considers a subrepo as dirty, it will appear in the commit tool as a special entry in the file list with a status of S. If a subrepo is included in the file list of a commit, the subrepo is committed along with the other changes, updating the .hgsubstate file in the main repository root."
