I have run into a new variant of this problem.

I have a checked out project (depth=infinity). This project makes use
of svn:externals.

In JavaHL, we have a getStatus method that has an ignoreExternals
boolean. I always run this with false to drive our Synchronize view.
We want to show all incoming changes. This has always worked well.

With current 1.5 code, if I pass depth=unknown to the API then it no
longer processes the svn:externals (regardless of the setting in the
boolean). If I change it to depth=infinity then it works properly.
The problem of course is that if use depth=infinity but the WC is
something different, then the command shows stuff that it shouldn't.
So I do not think there is currently any combination of settings that
gives me what I would want -- proper depth behavior, AND descend into
svn:externals if they are present.
