Hmm, looking at the code, I'm not sure what's wrong.

The function svn_wc_text_modified_p() compares the timestamp on the
working file against the timestamp recorded in the entries file. If
they're identical, it assumes no change.

So I don't see how this could be happening: a timestamp that's
younger than the one recorded in the entries file should still compare
as "not equal".

Can anyone else reproduce?
