It might, but that would be a copy bug. svn_wc__db_read_info asserts
that status!=absent for the working node.

Copying an absent node is explicitly disallowed in the the wc-to-wc
code because there is no way to commit such a copy. (My original plan
was to represent the copied node as not-present so that it got deleted
on commit, but the commit fails early when the parent is copied.)
