Yes, I think so. See below.

Ooh -- one bug is that it's using '' for '.' (I know that's unrelated,
but worth noting. It'll probably be two seconds to fix.)

Hmmm! You shouldn't have to clear the wc; iirc, we've got explicit
code to handle the case where one commits a change to the value of an
svn:externals property. We've had a bug in that code before, and
fixed it before, I think.

So yes, please file an issue, and even see if there's an old one you
can reopen.

Thanks for the report!,
