I've sent a patch to the Subversion list which will solve this issue:
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=2362534
If nobody objects to the patch until tomorrow, I'll commit it to the svn trunk.

But since 1.6.3 is due tomorrow (not the release, but the branching
and signing part) it most likely won't go into 1.6.3, maybe into
1.6.4.
