Not that easy as you think.
The cache has to block scanning working copies where an 'svn st' call
fails - otherwise it would end up in an endless loop retrying to scan
the same faulty folders again and again and again...
And an 1.6 working copy is just that: a working copy where an 'svn st'
call failed. So it's immediately marked as blocked for the status
cache.
