No, TSVN is doing the correct thing.

What you select in the Show Log dialog is the *changesets* that you
want to merge. The numbers in the merge dialog are the *revision*
numbers. The changeset 123 contains the difference between 122 and
123, that's where the -1 comes from.

In addition, when you want merge a complete branch, always select the
changset that created the branch. It is possible that the branch
creation changeset contains changes to file contents as well, and
usually you want to merge these changes, too.
