I seem to remember fixing this problem last year:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=25345&listName=dev

Unfortunatly, my patch was rejected with the claim that the current
error prone approach was "simpler".

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=25346&listName=dev

I would be willing to write up a new patch if it will actually be accepted.
