Merges which involve the addition of a single file broken on trunk

For a single file added on trunk, I don't seem to be able to merge it
onto a branch:

$ svn merge -c3 file:///tmp/repos/trunk /tmp/wc/branches/A
--- Merging r3 into '/tmp/wc/branches/A':
Skipped '/tmp/wc/branches/A/hello-world.txt'

(Attempts to merge into only the file itself don't work because it
didn't previously exist on the branch, and haven't been expected to
work in the past.)

This was not a problem with 1.4.x:

$ /usr/local/subversion-1.4/bin/svn merge -c3 file:///tmp/repos2/
trunk /tmp/wc2/branches/A
A /tmp/wc2/branches/A/hello-world.txt

This is a serious regression. While it seems tangentially related to
issue #2874, I don't think it's the same.
