I went through the list of error in svn_error_codes.h one by one and
two possibilities came to mind:

The first is SVN_ERR_FS_NOT_FILE. I wonder if this code would appear
and cause a failure if a similar test is run, but replacing a file
with a directory instead of replacing a directory with a file... I'll
test that scenario a little later...

The second possibility has to do with authz somehow causing a same-
resource check to fail (object accessible in old revision but not new
revision). I suppose that under this scenario, the error message would
say something to that effect.
