This has been "Wontfix" for 3 months, it should probably be closed.

The whole point of .mtn-ignore is to ignore some files that are in the workspace. I suspect you mean "it seems wrong that some files are ignored and known (committed) at the same time)". This is a deliberate design decision.

Its actually possible to add already ignored files, by adding the --no-respect-ignore option to mtn add. Check mtn add --help for more info.
Personally I find this behaviour quite useful, IMHO much better than forcing the user to edit his mtn-ignore file to be able to actually add the file to version control.

We had a situation where some regexes were not properly anchored, so files were being improperly "ignored". I don't know if that had any practical effects (other than errors with mtn add), but it seems wrong that a file can be ignored and in the workspace at the same time.

For example:
touch configure configure.ac
mtn add configure.ac # works
echo configure >> .mtn-ignore
mtn add configure.ac # cries
