Well, it looks like this flag is only used to mold the locally
added directory into the update, as if nothing had happened.

The assumption probably being that two independently added directories
with the same path do not conflict, and that their content will be
merged later during the editor drive (note the "change rev from 0
to the target revision" comment in the code quoted below).

In a text-conflict-only world, this makes sense, so the code using
the add_existed flag also makes sense from that point of view:

/* Comment added by me for this mail:
   The following resets the schedule from 'add' to 'normal',
   so that local_add + remote_add == normal
*/
      if (db->add_existed)
        {
          tmp_entry.schedule = svn_wc_schedule_normal;
          modify_flags |= SVN_WC__ENTRY_MODIFY_SCHEDULE |
            SVN_WC__ENTRY_MODIFY_FORCE;
        }

      SVN_ERR(svn_wc__entry_modify(adm_access, db->name, &tmp_entry,
                                   modify_flags,
                                   TRUE /* immediate write */, pool));

      if (db->add_existed)
        {
          /* Immediately tweak the schedule for "this dir" so it too
             is no longer scheduled for addition. Change rev from 0
             to the target revision allowing prep_directory() to do
             its thing without error. */
          modify_flags = SVN_WC__ENTRY_MODIFY_SCHEDULE
            | SVN_WC__ENTRY_MODIFY_FORCE | SVN_WC__ENTRY_MODIFY_REVISION;

          SVN_ERR(svn_wc_adm_retrieve(&adm_access,
                                      db->edit_baton->adm_access,
                                      db->path, pool));
          tmp_entry.revision = *(eb->target_revision);

          if (eb->switch_url)
            {
              tmp_entry.url = svn_path_url_add_component(eb->switch_url,
                                                         db->name, pool);
              modify_flags |= SVN_WC__ENTRY_MODIFY_URL;
            }

          SVN_ERR(svn_wc__entry_modify(adm_access, NULL, &tmp_entry,
                                       modify_flags,
                                       TRUE /* immediate write */, pool));
        }
    }

I'd say be bold and remove all this, flag a tree conflict like we
ought to, and see how many tests break >:]
