svn status does not show conflict in merge added file

From: Brian Buesker <bbuesker_at_qualcomm.com>

When a merge is done which adds a file, and then a second merge is done
which attempts to modify that file but that results in a conflict, svn
status does not report a conflict but rather still shows the file as
being scheduled for addition with history (in other words, it shows A
+ ).

This can be somewhat misleading to a user, although they would realize
there is a conflict once they try to commit as the commit still fails
due to the conflict. Would it be possible for svn status to detect this
situation and show the file as having a conflict rather than showing it
scheduled for addition with history?

I have reproduced this with both 1.1.4 and the trunk. Reproduction
script is attached.

The entire details of my environment are as follows:
