This is not a bug - it's just something that hasn't been implemented yet.
You can use a nightly build from trunk if you want the menu to appear
there too. But it won't work for the 1.6.x stable releases.

Or you could create the required registry entries yourself:
HKLM\Software\Classes\LibraryFolder\background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TortoiseSVN
HKLM\Software\Classes\LibraryFolder\background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TortoiseSVN\{30351349-7B7D-4FCC-81B4-1E394CA267EB}
(string)
HKLM\Software\Classes\LibraryFolder\background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TortoiseSVN\{30351349-7B7D-4FCC-81B4-1E394CA267EB}
(string)
