Problem with WC to URL copy in JavaHL 1.5.x

I know there are existing reports of problems doing command line copy
from WC to URL in 1.5. I do not think this issue is the same. First
off, the copy itself is succesful. However JavaHL gets an internal
error during the notifications process when the copy runs. It only
happens when using the option to make parents. This is the stack
trace we see from Subclipse:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null source at
java.util.EventObject.<init>(EventObject.java:38) at
org.tigris.subversion.javahl.NotifyInformation.<init>(NotifyInformation.java:120)

The error occurs whenever parent directories need to be created. The
parent directories are created and the copy succeeds, then the error.

These are the values passed to NotifyInformation when the error occurs:

path = null
action = 16
kind = 0
mimeType = null
lock = null
errMsg = null
contentState = 1
propState = 1
lockState = 1
revision = -1
changelistName = null
mergeRange = null

My assumption is that this notification should either not be sent or
it should have a non-null value for path as that seems to be a
requirement for this class that has long been in the code.

When the error does not occur (parent directories not created),
NotifyInformation is constructed 3 times. These are the values that
differ from above:

1st notification:

path = working copy path
kind = 2

2nd notification:

path = working copy path
action = 15
kind = 1
contentState = 5
propState = 2

3rd notification:

path = working copy path
action = 19
kind = 1

When parent directories must be created, the error occurs regardless
of whether copyAsChild is true or false.
