Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out. It works fine, as long as I know
the revision number. That's the best workaround.

I'm saying that the designers of TortoiseSVN have specifically devised a
GUI to browse the repository, select a file, then browse the text of log
entries corresponding to changes in that file, then save that file as in
the revision selected in this way (rather than by revision number); and
that for some reason this useful feature is partially broken; I'd like
to report this bug, and the nice way to do that is to first have a
dicussion on that list to confirm the bug; I guess I have a consensus on
that, right ?
Note: I fail to find a "Save revision to" option or similar in the
window titled "Log messages", or how to get another Log window.
