It sounds like you are still talking about a merge into a sparse WC?
But that is not the problem, as Paul pointed out. The node to be
deleted is there during the merge into an infinite depth WC.

Anyway, I believe the shallow merge is a red herring.

During the merge at infinite depth, the tree to be deleted no the
branch does not match the tree deleted on the trunk:

$ svn diff ^/A/B/E_at_6 A_COPY/B/E
Index: A_COPY/B/E/beta
===================================================================
--- A_COPY/B/E/beta (file:///home/stsp/svn/svn-trunk/subversion/tests/cmdline/svn-test-work/repositories/merge_tests-139/A/B/E) (revision 6)
+++ A_COPY/B/E/beta (.../A_COPY/B/E) (working copy)
@@ -1 +1 @@
-New content
\ No newline at end of file
+This is the file 'beta'.

So I agree that the tree conflict flagged at the end of Paul's test
is warranted. The merge is not deleting the same tree as it was
deleting on trunk.

If I tweak the test to not run a shallow merge, as below, the test
fails in the same way.
