This persists even through a Commit of the entire site, and also after a SVN Update. In all other respects subversion works fine. Shouldn't this display using the External Folder icon? The property attached to the root of the site looks like this:

You will get this anytime you define multiple levels of folders in the
externals property. The way SVN implements this, is that it creates
unversioned folders for all of the intermediate folders it has to
create and only the final folder is versioned.

So I would add the intermediate folders to my main repos location, and
add the svn:externals property only on the final folder so that it can
create the external as an immediate child.
