Is there any good reason not to have a specific error message here?
Because right now we just get this, e.g., during update after the
offending svn:externals property was committed (both a/b/e and a/b/x are
versioned directories):

$ svn propset svn:externals '^/a/b/e x' a/b
$ svn commit -mm
Sending a/b

Committed revision 2.
$ svn update
Updating '.':

Fetching external item into 'a/b/x':
svn: warning: W155035: The specified path has an unexpected status

At revision 2.
svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions

This error message is not very helpful.
