Just tried again, with both debug and release build (WinXP, TSVN 1.1.0).
I can't reproduce this. So it seems it's related to Win2k?

The left pane is indeed a 'buggy' creature, or at least (if we're nice
to M$) a creature with its own mind. For example there's a nice shell
API called SHChangeNotify() which is used to tell the shell that
something (file/folder/...) has changed and that it needs to update the
views. But the shell doesn't believe what you tell it: it does some own
checks and refuses an update if it thinks that nothing changed. That's
why the icon overlays don't change in the left pane if the overlay
indicates a change in one of the sub-subfolders. Only if a file directly
inside a folder changed, that folder icon _maybe_ changes.
