Ok, I can reproduce this and have a possible patch. But I need some time to verify the side effects of fixing this issue.

The problem is caused by a side effect of the issue #3702 'Unable to perform case-only rename on windows' fix.

The fix for this issue makes us see the paths as

svn copy C:\test\testco\test.txt C:\test\Testco\testdir\test_copy.txt

We then open working copy databases for both C:\test\testco and C:\test\Testco to perform a between wc copy operation.

Applying a simple fix might break other issues, so I need a bit more time to investigate.
