It may be related, and possibly it fixes the issue I encountered, but it is not exactly the same. What happened in my case is that a file external was in my 1.6 working copy and the svn upgrade appeared to add it as a "first-class node" while leaving it as an external as well. From that point on "svn update" would complain about overwriting the first-class node when attempting to update the external reference.

Sorry I don't have a reproduction script - I'm not currently set up to run both 1.6 and 1.7 to build one.

I suppose you can start with the first part of the script in issue #4000 but use svn 1.6 up to the point of creating the wWC with the file external and checking it out. Then just switch to 1.7 and attempt an upgrade and update.
