The comment in the Subversion code mentions:
"We can't relocate beyond the repository root, but the user is allowed
  to specify a redundant part of the fs path in from and to, but only
  if this part is identical in both strings."

Not sure why this is, but you might want to report this on the
Subversion mailing list.
