Multi-Project Branching Problems

I've been trying to branch multiple projects and I have encountered a
few problems. With a repository layout such as;

trunk/
  Projects/
    folder_a/
      eclipse_project_1
  Other
    folder_b
      eclipse_project_2

I'm attempting to branch into the projects into the following form;

/branches/
  branch_name/
    Projects/
      folder_a/
        eclipse_project_1
    Other/
      folder_b/
        eclipse_project_2

The branch/tag dialog selects the correct root (repo_root/trunk) which
is replaced by (repo_root/branches/branch_name) and the small table
showing the new paths appears to be correct with the above layout. (This
is obscured somewhat by the strings being replaced with ... and resizing
the dialog does not resize the table).

However when I commit the branch, the following structure is created;

/branches/
  branch_name/
    eclipse_project_1
    eclipse_project_2

If I have selected "switch working copy to branch", it fails with a
message such as;

An internal error occurred during: "SVN Branch/Tag".
Attempted to beginRule: P/eclipse_project_1, does not match outer scope
rule: P/eclipse_project_2

the corresponding stacktrace;

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attempted to beginRule:
P/eclipse_project_1, does not match outer scope rule: P/eclipse_project_2

I am assuming that this is related to the issue that the dialog shows
one branch layout whilst another layout is actually created.

I've tried using both SVNKit and JavaHL and I get the same behaviour in
both cases. Branching has been performed by selecting a group of
projects and using the right-click menu to Team -> Branch/Tag and the
HEAD revision has been selected.
