I get the same results when using the command line. See this example:

$ export R=file:///Users/mphippard/repositories/branching
$ svn cp -m "Create branch" --parents
$R/trunk/Projects/folder_a/eclipse_project_1
$R/trunk/Other/folder_b/eclipse_project_2 $R/branches/branch2

Committed revision 6.
$ svn ls $R/branches/branch2
eclipse_project_1/
eclipse_project_2/

Could you file an issue for these other things? I remember reporting
the issue with the string not showing the complete path. It might not
be fixable as I think SWT is truncating. The exception should be
fixable though. Please report both.
