How did you get that far?
If I try to delete a file which someone has locked with the repository
browser, I get an error message. If I steal the lock first, then the
lock is gone for good too.

It would be really great if you could come up with some reproduction
recipe - you might have discovered a bug in the Subversion library.

I suggest you ask this on the Subversion mailing list. They're the ones
very familliar with the repository - TSVN is just a client.
