TortoiseSVN 1.4.5 Issue with SVN Lock Owner column

I am using TortoiseSVN 1.4.5 on Windows XP. I've described my issue
with the "SVN Lock Owner" column in Windows Explorer below:

What I did: One of my coworkers locked a file "test.txt." I
right-clicked on "test.txt" and selected "Check for modifications" under
the TortoiseSVN menu. The "Check For Modifications" dialog comes up and
shows that my coworker has indeed locked "test.txt." I close the
dialog, and select "SVN update" from the pop-up menu. =20

What I expected: I expected that "test.txt" would be updated and show my
coworker's username in the "SVN Lock Owner" column.

What happened: The file is updated with all the modifications, but the
"SVN Lock Owner" column in Windows Explorer does not show that my
coworker has locked the file and is empty.

I've read the mailing lists and I know that other people have
experienced the same issue (I couldn't tell if it was with 1.4.5 or
not). This fix would be a beneficial addition to our group - in fact,
some people in my group are considering not using TortoiseSVN/Subversion
just because of this exact issue alone(we have policies in place to lock
certain files). Any timeline you could give me for this issue would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
