Yes but what if you merge after that ?

hypothetical session : (if I understand correctly, I use more
tags than branches)

$ svn cp foo foo/bar
$ svn commit -m "branch foo/bar"
$ svn merge http://..../foo/ http:/..../foo/bar/ bar
A bar/bar

Each merge will create a new nested branch. Benoît Mandelbrot would enjoy
this, but I guess that's why cp to a subdir is forbidden.
