Ha, sure enough, look at the comment within
svn_io_copy_dir_recursively(). (libsvn_subr/io.c:471)

The function is just calling apr_dir_make() to create new directories in
the target, whereas for files it's calling svn_io_copy_file(), which
seems to have a special win32 section to preserve file perms (!)
