Odd diff problem with replaced files

Using TSVN 1.8.7, I encountered the following odd problem:

1. Right-click-dragged "SVN Copy versioned files" some items from a working copy on one branch to a working copy on another branch. (And yes, the copy was intended, I don't want to merge.)

2. Check for modifications.

 a. SVN status for the files is now showing as "replaced (+)", as expected.

 b. Double-click on the file shows no differences. (This seems wrong.)

 c. "Show Log" is showing the history of the source file, not the history of the target file. (This does make sense, but it did initially surprise me.)

 d. "Show differences as unified diff" shows the *real* diff between the current WC version of the file and the prior replaced file on the target branch (which is what I was expecting [b] to do, but didn't).

I suspect in this case I should probably have copied the file *without* SVN history to get the behaviour I wanted, but the difference between [b] and [d]'s behaviour puzzles me.
