I'm CC'ing dev@, because this does sound like a bug, and I don't see
an issue filed on it.
Mike Pilato, I have a vague recollection that we've talked about this
problem before... Does it ring a bell?

Just to confirm: what's under trunk is a single-revision working copy,
not a mixed-revision one, right? I.e., If you do this with a fresh,
unmodified checkout of trunk, the behavior is the same?

I think the semantics of the two operations ought to be the same, and
that therefore this is a bug.
