svn diff regression bug?

Observe:

cmpilato removed the subversion/tests/xml directory recently.

These commands both work fine:

$ svn ls -r10 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/tests/xml
$ svn ls -r50 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/tests/xml

But this command chokes:

$ svn diff -r10:50 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/tests/xml

subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:332: (apr_err=160013, src_err=0)
svn: Filesystem has no item
svn: REPORT request failed on /repos/svn/trunk/subversion/tests/xml
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:163: (apr_err=160013, src_err=0)
svn: file not found: revision `3576', path `/trunk/subversion/tests/xml'

If I'm not mistaken, this is a big regression bug. We used to have
this problem long ago -- the dav layer would choke if the repos path
didn't exist in HEAD. We wrote explicit code in mod_dav_svn to search
up parent dirs. Maybe that solution doesn't apply here for the update
REPORT; maybe this always been broken. Either way, should this be
filed as a bug?
