It should also mention that if the user installed darcs using cabal that
there is every higher likelihood of this happening as cabal defaults to
putting binaries in ~/.cabal/bin.  It would also be good to say what the
common symptoms are, "I can login and see darcs but I get funny results when
I push/put."

I'm CC'ing the bug tracker and I'll assign to you Trent.

Thanks,

I ran into this today on code.haskell.org!

When connecting via Emacs Tramp (ssh or sshx methods), the PATH is
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin. As a result, /usr/bin/darcs
(1.0.9) takes precedence over /usr/local/bin/darcs (2.0.2).

I guess /etc/profile isn't sourced by Tramp.

I don't have time to look right now, but I suspect Micheal Albinus (the TRAMP 
maintainer) would consider this a bug in TRAMP.
