It's a bug in update_editor.c:install_file.

From the code I would expect update to fail as well.

It's also present on the trunk.

It's possible to "fix" an existing working copy by using a trunk
client to run "svn cleanup", but with a 1.1.x client it's more
difficult. Running "svn revert --recursive" will do it providing you
don't mind any local modifications being reverted. If you want to
preserve local modifications then you need to use "svn commit" and
arrange for the commit to abort. One way to do this is to exit the
log message editor without making changes and then choose "a)bort"
when prompted. Another way is to set SVN_EDITOR to an invalid editor,
e.g. on Unix one can use "SVN_EDITOR=/bin/false svn commit".
