While I don't have time to create a more detailed recipe ATM, I find
reproducing the bug very easy.

It is important that you have many files in each sub directory so you are
able to CTRL+C in the middle of a subdirectory beeing added to path\to\base.

That is:
svn up .
adding ...\path\to\base\a
adding ...\path\to\base\a\file1.txt
adding ...\path\to\base\a\file2.txt
adding ...\path\to\base\a\file3.txt
adding ...\path\to\base\a\file4.txt
- CTRL+C before all files in 'a' is added -

Now I get the error when updating \path\to\base using the absolute path

This works consistenly under Linux and Win32 using svn 1.0.6.
