Perhaps not? I don't know SVN's internals much, but
how about this:

svn rm --keep-in-wc removes the file from the
repository, as with normal rm.

But the server also sets a property on the parent
directory indicating that the file should not be
removed from the WC. Assuming the WC lib receives
propchanges on the directory first, it could just
ignore the upcoming REMOVE commands for files listed
in the "keep-in-wc" list. It would then remove the
relevant entries in the .svn admin area.

Or perhaps not...
