This is another issue. My initial post is about a bug in FSFS that could lead
to unexpected behavior of svn_fs_get_locks() function. What I'm talking about
is:

To reproduce this bug in test, I've emulated nested locks by creating a file
('/A'), locking it and then replacing by directory with same name. This looks
like a 'directory lock', and I am trying to say that if this happens in real
life, the FS API would behave incorrectly.

Yes.
