Issue with Junction and SubWCRev on Windows XP SP3

I have noticed an issue where SubWCRev doesn't recognise junctions
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx) as working
copies.

However, svn command line client happily recognises junctions as working
copies (see below).

I came across a post on the mailing list claiming that suggests that
subversion doesn't support *symlinks* on Windows XP
(http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=
1102822&orderBy=createDate&orderType=desc). This no longer seems to be the
case.

I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.6.5, Build 16974 - 32 Bit , 2009/08/20 08:13:46.
