The problem is that all these files are mentioned in lisp/mh-e/ChangeLog, so it is very confusing not to find them, or have them in another directory. I understand the reason for having the same ChangeLog in Emacs that you have in your primary repository, but given that you already move/delete some of the files (as you explained above), perhaps editing ChangeLog that is checked into the Emacs CVS would not be such a bad idea. Alternatively, perhaps consider adding mh-xemacs.el, README and MH-E-NEWS to lisp/mh-e anyway. They shouldn't do too much harm, I think; etc/NEWS could say something like "for changes in MH-E see lisp/mh-e/MH-E-NEWS".
