Hm, okay the source code in extractver.py is visible here:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/browser/trunk/extractver.py?annotate=blame&rev=41

And it is invoking darcsvermodule.update(), which is visible here:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/darcsver/browser/trunk/darcsver/darcsvermodule.py?annotate=blame&rev=114#L69

I see that darcsvermodule.update() in its current form has no argument
"quiet" but does have an argument "loud". I see that this was changed
in http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/darcsver/changeset/20090617201750-92b7f-8214a48a2bf095dce545d5fb5814190a8a098c6b/trunk
which was committed 2009-06-17.

So this is a typical case of bitrot. Please accept my apologies, and
work-around the problem in your copy of extractver.py by changing
"quiet=False" to "loud=True". And then tell us what happens next! :-)
