Indeed you do. This is the issue reported here:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201307.mbox/%3C51F295B2.7000603%40gmail.com%3E

I spent some time trying to figure out how this happens. Believe I
finally found a reproduction recipe (attached)

The important tidbit seems to be that you have to be creating a
directory via a copy and deleting something equal to or more than 3
levels deeper. When it's not deeper than this the commit works fine.

I'm not convinced the patch is the right fix.
