Try this:

svnadmin create repo
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
svn mkdir wc/trunk
svn ci -m "" wc
cd wc
mv trunk ..
ln -s ../trunk trunk
svn st

The key thing is to be in the wc directory which has a .svn/entries file
that says it should have a child directory named trunk. Trunk gets
moved elsewhere and replaced with a symlink, then when you do an svn st,
it thinks that trunk is a file but should be a directory, so it reports
it as a collision.
