SVN doesn't fully support Windows junction points yet (see [1]). You can
give it a try to see whether "svn cp [source] [dest]" works. If it
doesn't I'd assume the issue with the other case is related to the SVN
limitation as well.
Workaround: Use a checkout not relying on junction points and perform
the copy operation there.
