Didn't reproduce it when I first saw the mail, since I never bothered
to read the overly long right-drag menu items in TSVN. So I had no
clue what the devil he was talking about :-).

Right, reproduces here too, in 1.1.5 RC2.

Would this require changes to WC semantics, eg. be Subversion territory?
(In that case the request should go through the SVN mailing list, probably
with a test case using the command line client instead of TSVN..)

Seems reasonable.

I'll file the issue right away.
