I can't confirm this. Even if I delete the offending file without
reverting the local add first, I receive an error message on update that
tells me, what went wrong:

"Failed to add file 'e:\svn\a\b\c\d.txt': object of the same name is
already scheduled for addition."

Maybe that's because I only had that single file to be updated.

First remove the offending file (if it's versioned, unversion it first).
Then update.

When asking google for the new error message you receive, I find
threads from 2004 regarding case issues. Are you sure you are not
trapped by a case mismatch? What version of TSVN and svn are you using?

Kind regards
