I assume the parent must be a directory given that it is a parent. We
don't descend into unversioned directories within a working copy. An
unversioned directory will often be the parent when the child is a
working copy root, but that doesn't cause this bug. How does this bug
get triggered? What does the working copy look like?

I guess that would stop the crash, but is it just hiding the
underlying, unknown, cause of the bug? Is parent_status getting set
incorrectly?
