Here's a recipe for this problem.

------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

OLD_SVN=/home/cmpilato/projects/subversion/branches/1.6.x/subversion/svn/svn
OLD_SVNADMIN=/home/cmpilato/projects/subversion/branches/1.6.x/subversion/svnadmin/svnadmin
SVN17=/home/cmpilato/projects/subversion/trunk/subversion/svn/svn

echo "### Remove junk from previous test runs."
rm -rf crawl-too-high
mkdir crawl-too-high

echo "### Create a couple of repositories to play with."
${OLD_SVNADMIN} create crawl-too-high/repos1
${OLD_SVNADMIN} create crawl-too-high/repos2

echo "### Checkout the first repository using a pre-1.7 client."
${OLD_SVN} co file://`pwd`/crawl-too-high/repos1 crawl-too-high/wc

echo "### Commit the addition of a subdirectory into the repository."
${OLD_SVN} mkdir crawl-too-high/wc/subdir
${OLD_SVN} ci -m "Create a subdirectory." crawl-too-high/wc

echo "### Now checkout the second repository again, this time using"
echo "### Subversion 1.7, into the subdir of the pre-1.7 working copy."
${SVN17} co file://`pwd`/crawl-too-high/repos2 crawl-too-high/wc/subdir

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

And here's what I see today when I run it:

### Remove junk from previous test runs.
### Create a couple of repositories to play with.
### Checkout the first repository using a pre-1.7 client.
Checked out revision 0.
### Commit the addition of a subdirectory into the repository.
A crawl-too-high/wc/subdir
Adding crawl-too-high/wc/subdir

Committed revision 1.
### Now checkout the second repository again, this time using
### Subversion 1.7, into the subdir of the pre-1.7 working copy.
