BUG: Record Only Merge modified Working Copy

After having installed SVN 1.5 and TortoiseSVN 1.5 (TortoiseSVN 1.5.0,
Build 13316 - 32 Bit , 2008/06/21 07:55:29), I updated my repositories
and working copies (this is automagic, yes?).

I then went into a branch project and decided to add merge info for the
merges already made:

1) Right-click on root of WC, choose Merge
2) Merge a range of revisions
3) It had the correct trunk URL (SWEET!)
4) Put in the following revision ranges:

827-845,846-861,862-892,893-897,898-906,907-908,909-910,912-913,914-916

Note that these correspond to the M:N revisions logged for previous
merges - should I have incremented the start revisions?

5) Checked "Only record the merge"
6) Tried a Test Merge for fun

Note that it showed the results of actually applying a merge, not just
the result of only recording the merges

7) Clicked Merge

I expected to just have the svn:mergeinfo added to the root of the WC
(and maybe to the appropriate sub-directories - I didn't read up on how
mergeinfo is managed in a nested working copy).

Instead, the merge actually performed the modifications that showed up
in the dry run.

I reverted the changes and then ran the following from the root of my WC:

svn merge --record-only <trunk URL> -r 827:845 -r 846:861 -r 862:892 -r
893:897 -r 898:906 -r 907:908 -r 909:910 -r 912:913 -r 914:916

This produced:

svn:mergeinfo <relative URL to
trunk>:828-845,847-861,863-892,894-897,899-906,908,910,913,915-916

Note a subsequent merge all did produce the correct results (it even
noticed that I missed 893, so I'm glad I entered the merge information
as I did), and now my mergeinfo reads 828-924.

Thanks,
