Tortoise Context Menu Export versus svn command versus Repository Browser export

Hi -- I am trying to understand the difference in behavior between two
flavors of Tortoise exports:

1. From Windows Explorer, I right-click on a working copy, select
TortoiseSVN, then Export.
    - in the Export dialog, I type in a directory name. (e.g.
C:\temp\) and click OK
    - After the export finishes, I look in C:\temp and there is my
exported copy at C:\temp\myworkingcopy
    - sometime later, I want do do the export again.
    - this time, however, in the export dialog I navigate to
C:\temp\myworkingcopy
    - I let the export run, but find that it has created a new
subdirectory, c:\temp\myworkingcopy\myworkingcopy

I was surprised by this. This is not how the subversion command line
client works. If I did the same operation using the svn command:
    - svn export . c:\temp\myworkingcopy

...the first time, it creates the subdirectory "myworkingcopy".
However, the second time, it warns me that the subdirectory is not
empty and that I must use --force to overwrite the contents

2. I perform similar functions from the repository browser and find
that it works like the svn command! It allows me to specify the
destination directory and warns me when I am about to overwrite it.

Is this correct behavior? At the least, I would expect that the
context-menu export would work like the repo-browser export and also
work like the svn command line client.

As it is, I find it confusing, and hard to explain to my colleagues!
