Diffs and deleted directories

Does anyone know why 'svn diff' has such strangely inconsistent
behavior with regard to deleted directories?

For example, if I move a directory in my working copy from foo1 to
foo2, svn diff will show me the following:

$ svn move foo1 foo2
A foo3
D foo2/file.txt
D foo2
$ svn di
Index: foo2/file.txt
===================================================================
--- foo2/file.txt (revision 0)
+++ foo2/file.txt (working copy)
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-blah

So the delete shows up, but not the add.

If I then commit and look at the repos-repos diff it looks like this:

$ svn ci -m,
Deleting foo2
Adding foo3

Committed revision 3.
$ svn di -r 2:3 file:///home/rooneg/test/repos
Index: foo3/file.txt
===================================================================
--- foo3/file.txt (revision 0)
+++ foo3/file.txt (revision 3)
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+blah

Ok, this way the add shows up but the delete does not.

Is it just me, or is this kinda weird?

For the curious, the reason I stumbled onto this is that I was trying
to see what diff would show for a renamed directory (from the
fs-atomic-renames branch), and the repos-repos diff I tried only
showed me the add, not the delete. I was, needless to say, rather
confused by this until I realized that 'svn move' results in the same
behavior.
