and remove them from the repo.  if i revert to the revision prior to
the file removal, i don't get the files back.  is this expected or am
i doing something wrong?

It's difficult to tell without knowing exactly what commands you have used.

In general, yes, you would expect to get the files back.

$ hg init
$ echo "Hello, world" > foo
$ hg add foo
$ hg commit -m "Hello"
$ hg rm foo
$ ls
$ hg commit -m "Goodbye"
$ hg log
changeset:   1:a651a830b8dd
tag:         tip

summary:     Hello

$ hg update -r 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ ls
foo

Is that what you did?

the wrinkle i didn't mention was that i'd created a branch to contain
the revisions that i'd removed files from.

what i learned was when i do an update from one branch to another, i
need to do an hg update -C to get a clean copy
