Now, I have TortoiseSVN 1.4.3, Build 8645 (latest), and I still have the 
problem. And it is *not* due to manual editing of patchfile !
Here is another procedure :
    *  From my local SVN, I modify the files :
          o project/pom.xml
          o project/module_1/pom.xml
          o project/module_2/pom.xml
    * Then, I right-click on project > TortoiseSVN > Create patch...
    * After creating the patch (with default parameters), I  do a
      right-click on project > TortoiseSVN > Revert, and I revert all my
      changes
    * Now, I right-click on project > TortoiseSVN > Apply patch..., I
      select my patch file, and then, I have a list of "File patches" in
      the GUI containing only "pom.xml" files (that's good), but 2 of
      them are red ! (that's bad...)
    * When clicking on a red "pom.xml", I've got that message :
The file pom.xml
was found twice!?!
This usually happens if you applied a patchfile to the
wrong folder!
... I think it's definitively a bug in Tortoise isn't it ?
