That said, reintegrate should have worked. It should be able to follow the ancestry of the 1.2 branch to the 1.1 branch and know that the merge info that applied to 1.1 revisions applied to the 1.2 branch. Or perhaps I am giving svn too much credit... but this is my understanding of it and your scenerio should have worked properly.
