Files marked as 'missing' were not found by the Subversion library
during the status fetch. That's what the status 'missing' is about.
Do you maybe have some other app accessing the files in your working
copy and 'locking' them, i.e. make them inaccessible to TSVN? Even if
that other app does that only for a few milliseconds to some files, it
might be enough.
Virus scanners have been known to do such nasty things...

Those versions are linked with Subversion 1.3.0, which has some speed
improvements when fetching the status. Maybe one of those improvements
now has some unpredictable outcome when other apps interfere?
