And that's the problem!
You actually did not remove the folder from version control, you just
removed it. Subversion still knows that the folder should be there.
If you open up the 'check for modifications' dialog now on the parent
folder, you will see that the folder is marked as 'missing'.
As soon as you recreate the folder again, but of course without the .svn
folder inside, the status will change from 'missing' to 'obstructed',
which means Subversion detected that there's now a new folder where the
original folder was, effectively 'being in the way' of the original folder.

You could use 'add' instead of import. Import can't work because the
folder already exists in the repository.
When you add the folder, the status will change to 'replaced'.

Apart from that:
* this is not a bug. You remove essential information (the .svn folder)
and therefore Subversion can't work properly anymore.
* this is how Subversion works. If you want this changed, ask on the
Subversion mailing list please.
