Yes, that's a bug. Strictly speaking the out-of-date marker doesn't
indicate a *newer* revision on the server but a *different* revision.

  svnadmin create repo
  svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo/A ^/X
  svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo/A/B
  svnmucc -mm propset svn:externals '^/A_at_1 A' file://`pwd`/repo/X
  svn co file://`pwd`/repo/X wc
  svn propset svn:externals '^/A_at_2 A' wc
  svn ci -mm wc
  svn up wc

  svn st -u wc
  X wc/A
  Status against revision: 4

  Performing status on external item at 'wc/A':
          * 2 wc/A/B
  Status against revision: 1

The externals table in wc.db is out-of-sync with the externals
property, the property is r2 while the table is r1:

  svn pg svn:externals wc
  ^/A_at_2 A

  sqlite3 wc/.svn/wc.db "select * from externals"
  1|A||1|normal|dir||A|1|1

  svn info wc/A/B | grep ^Rev
  Revision: 2

The out-of-date marker indicates that wc/A/B_at_2 is not the same as r1
(where it is deleted).
