I've just tried a svn.exe compiled from trunk. It has exactly the same
behaviour.
I guess this should be solved in the Subversion library, but I'm not sure
how the solution would look like:

a) Recursively calling "svn delete --keep-local" is probably not the correct
way of doing it, because the deletion could not be commited from the
surrounding working copy.
b) Ignoring the error silently would also be dangerous.
