(My previous attempt at this reply had "==" instead of "!=", but was not
anywhere near right anyway.)

Attached is a patch towards solving this.

Here's where I've got to:

I separated out the different kinds of checks at the top of
open_directory() in subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c. That change is
fine by itself.

I made the "skip" part conditional on this node not being scheduled for
deletion. That means it follows through to do the update, which we
believe handles the situation as desired, except perhaps for recursive
behaviour.

PROBLEMS:
  - multiple notifications
  - recursive behaviour may not be right
  - test failures not investigated
