AIUI, these commands are both asking to be applied to revision 2 of the
file identified by that path in the HEAD revision. Since the path is not
valid on the HEAD revision they fail. Use a peg revision as:

svn ls -r 2 file:///path/to/deleted/directory_at_2
   or
svn co -r 2 file:///path/to/deleted/directory_at_2

to refer to revision 2 of the file which had that path in revision 2.

N.B. You still need to specify the revision number twice to check it out as

   svn co file:///path/to/deleted/directory_at_2

will fail with the same error message as it identifies the file from the
path in revision 2 then (I think) tries to check out its head revision. The
ls command on the other hand seems to default to the peg revision for its
output. There seems to be a deal of inconsistency between commands here.
