Looks very strange indeed.

You mean this bit, right?

  /* Get the src list and associated peg revs */
  sources = apr_array_make(pool, targets->nelts - 1,
                           sizeof(svn_client_copy_source_t *));
  for (i = 0; i < (targets->nelts - 1); i++)
    {
      const char *target = ((const char **) (targets->elts))[i];
      svn_client_copy_source_t *source = apr_palloc(pool, sizeof(*source));
      const char *src;
      svn_opt_revision_t peg_revision;

      SVN_ERR(svn_opt_parse_path(&peg_revision, &src, target, pool));
      source->path = src;
      source->revision = &(opt_state->start_revision);
      source->peg_revision = &peg_revision;

      APR_ARRAY_PUSH(sources, svn_client_copy_source_t *) = source;
    }

As I read it when this loop is done all sources will have the same
peg revision, namely the one of the last source in the list.

This does not look as if it was intended, especially given
that the comment talks about multiple peg revisions.

I think this is the diff Barry has expressed in plain English:
