'svn update' will replace missing directories, even if nothing has
changed in the repository. Can that mechanism be used to cause the
delete to get sent?

It looks like a bit of a timebomb--removing an entry that has not been
deleted would be a serious mistake.

If this is the best approach then don't implement it like that, use
svn_wc__adm_missing instead.
