No it doesn't change the WC, but it sends different information to the
network.
In one case the depth stored in the working copy is used (to filter the
information you miss in your example) and in the other case the information
isn't filtered.
svn status -u was designed to show what an equivalent 'svn up' would do and
in this case it didn't do that. Instead it just showed everything below,
without looking at the ambient depth.
