There is nothing "correct" about that. It is an artifact of buggy wc-1
behavior. When you add a node, it will be committed under its
*current* parent. Not whatever it happened to be six weeks ago when
you did the "svn add". The URL reported was wrong/bad/etc.

Any added node has SVN_INVALID_REVNUM. It will not have a revision
until you commit it. It will not have a repository location until you
commit it.

Probably more of that bad wc-1 behavior.
