That's by design. When you run SubWCRev with the default options, it
only checks the files for their last-commit revision. Since the file you
deleted isn't there anymore, it can't read the revision from it.

But if you pass -f to SubWCRev, it will also use the revisions of the
folders and then you get the 'correct' revision, i.e. the revision you
want in your situation.
