Can't get log messages for a folder in a working copy that is deleted in the head

Hello TortoiseSVN developers,

I'm working in a stable-trunk development environment where all changes
are
made on a branch that is deleted after it is merged back to the trunk.

Sometimes I need to look at what went on in a branch while it was still
active,
so I update my working copy of the branches folder to an earlier
revision.

I notice that if I am in a working copy that is at an earlier revision
and try
and view the log of a folder that no longer exists in the repository
head, by
right-clicking the folder in the working copy and selecting "SVN Show
log",
Tortoise gives me an error message similar to
"REPORT request failed on '/svn/imp/!svn/bc/5781/mods/parser/M286'
'/svn/imp/!svn/bc/5781/mods/parser/M286' path not found".

In that example, I'd updated the working copy to revision 5754; the
deletion
happened in 5755 and the latest previous commit affecting that branch
had been
in 5752.

The command-line client gives me the log I expect, as does asking for
the log
from the Repo-browser at that revision.

Using TortoiseSVN 1.4.0 build 7630 on Windows XP Pro, command-line
client 1.4.0
r21228.
