Yes, this is a symptom of a larger problem, namely that
svn_path_canonicalize doesn't return a canonicalized path. Canonical
would mean that any two input paths that referenced the same file
should have the same output path (at least relative to the same root).
svn_path_canonicalize should really behave more like
svn_path_get_absolute, except without the requirement that the file or
path actually exist on disk. I'm working on it now.
It seems that in addition to this problem, there may also be
sub-commands that don't canonicalize their paths/URLs before using
them. I'll see what can be done about that too afterwards.
