I've seen a similar behavior when I change two externals like this:

    example/lib ^/path/to/example/trunk/lib
    example/include ^/path/to/example/trunk/include

into one like this, for temporary work:

    example ^/path/to/example/trunk

In this scenario, sometimes the "lib" and "include" directories are missing
from "example" after one update, and usually get restored on a second
update.

I cannot remember whether that happened on a Unix server with the
command-line tools, or whether it was on Windows with Tortoise.
