Clean up command overwriting uncommited documents

I am finding that users are losing work due to the operation of the cleanup command. The process that is repeatable is as follows:

1. lock a document in my working copy.
2. open the doc in word, edit it, save it BUT keep it open in word.
3. attempt to do an SVN update on the directory (this "fails" as I have got the doc open).
4. add some more text to the document, save it and close it.
5. try to commit - this fails saying it is locked, do a cleanup.
6. do an SVN cleanup (as suggested) on the directory - this says it has worked.
7. open at the document again - it has not got the changes done in step 4 !!

I am assuming it is using copies it has stored in the .svn driectories when it does a cleanup...

What would be useful in this instance is to have the cleanup command issue a warning message before it attempts to recover changed files. Can or should this be submitted as a bug request for TortoiseSVN?

Thanks for you help - Nick
