Thank you very much for the reproduction recipes.
The problem is indeed related to that "gap in the history" thing. In
your Python script, 'iota2_at_4' is copied from 'iota_at_2', not from
'iota_at_3'. An attempt to show change number 4 fails with "diff":
[[[
$ svn log -v -c4 iota2

Now, maybe we should call this a bug in the interpretation of the "-c"
specifier: after all, if "svn log" interprets "-c4" correctly as "the
change that created r4", then why can't "diff" do so?
I don't know whether to call this a bug right now.
(The fact that a "gap" is created in the history is a part of how
Subversion works: we are not likely to be able to change that.)
