OK, there are two problems here:

1) cloning the IcedTea repository automatically puts tip in the working
    directory, and the current tip is the cacao branch

2) the cacao branch doesn't build using the same procedure as the default branch

As a workaround, you can update to the default head after cloning the 
repository, e.g.:

hg up -C c2d0a270a09f

(see: hg heads)

The real solution is to move CACAO work to a separate icedtea-cacao repository.
