Yes, it really is. You did not commit any change to the directory;
rather, you just committed a change to a file in the directory. In
your working copy, that file is now at r12, but the other files you
did not commit, and the directory they're in, remain at whatever
revision they were at previously, perhaps r11, perhaps an earlier
revision.

I believe this is intentional and not a bug.

The working copy does reflect the commit you just made. But the "svn
ls" command, as explained, shows what's in the repository, not what's
in your working copy, and it works by default on the revision of the
directory you're in when you run the command.

Most working copies are mixed-revision. At the very latest, your
working copy became mixed-revision as soon as you committed, as I
explained above.
