I'm using the "branch/tag" command from the explorer context menu and it's
not branching my "mixed" working copy.
In my test scenario the revision of the branched folder as only one file,
and the same folder in the trunk as now two files.
When I do an update from the trunk I get all files and folders, and that
specific folder has two files (which is correct).
Then I use the context menu to switch that specific folder to the revision
that's in the branch (that as only one file).
I browse my local working copy and it's all correct. All files and folders
are equal to the contents of the trunk, and that specific folder as only one
file (from the branch).
Then I select the parent folder of my local working area, and I use the
"branch/tag" command from the explorer context menu to create a tag with the
configuration I described (Several files and folders from the trunk, and a
specific folder with the content from a branch, that by now as only one file
versus the two files that the same folder has in the trunk).
When I look to the result of the branch, in that specific folder there are
two files, when it only should be one, as it is in my working copy.
This is the test I've done, and the results are those I appointed.

You really should believe me when I tell you that it will use your local
working copy. After all, I wrote TSVN! And I know what it does and what not.
An URL->URL copy (branch/tag) is done if you use the repository browser
and use the copy command from there. The "branch/tag" command from the
explorer context menu will create the branch/tag from your working copy.
