Hi,
the same problem occured with Eclipse 3.0x and Subclipse 0.9.31 on our
WinXP machines here.
It's the .eclipseme file which is deleted by Subclipse. Our workaround
is the following:
1. checkout as...
2. when Eclipse has created the project folder and Subclipse asks you to
overwrite it open the project folder in Windows Explorer and copy all
the ".something" files somewhere else
3. let Subclipse do the checkout
4. copy those files back into the project folder
5. do a refresh in Eclipse
that's kind of annoying thing to do, but as it happens not to often we
are getting used to it ;-)
hope that helps,
Christian

And I don't know how to recreate the proper project files once Subclipse has deleted them, nor I can figure out how to import my sources from the remote repository in a new Dynamic Web Project.
