I looked at the history. It was changed between versions 1.4 and 1.5,
while adding support for the "--depth" option:

Upgrade svn_client_list() with recurse to svn_client_list2() with depth.

* subversion/include/svn_client.h
  (svn_client_list2): New declaration.
  (svn_client_list): Deprecate.
  (svn_client_list_func_t): Tweak documentation.

* subversion/libsvn_client/list.c
  (svn_client_list2): Define, using body of old svn_client_list.
  (svn_client_list): Implement as wrapper around svn_client_list2.
  (get_dir_contents): Take depth instead of recurse, adjust accordingly.

* subversion/svn/list-cmd.c
  (print_dirent, print_dirent_xml): When verbose, print this-dir
    entry instead of ignoring it.
  (svn_cl__list): Call svn_client_list2 now.

* notes/sparse-directories.txt: Remove this item from the todo list.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it was a (perhaps undocumented) behaviour change, and I cannot now
call it a bug.
