Things should improve with (T)SVN 1.10 in this scenario. However atm
merging revisions containing moved files from A -> B involves manually
resolving the tree conflicts.
If you didn't get a tree conflict when you did the merge, something
might be messed up with the branch set up on your side or you didnot
merge the revision which moved/renamed the file.
In general the recommended process differs on the actual needs. I'd
always prefer to have things cleanly tracked between branches (but this
might not be suitable for others/different environments/repo
structures). If you want to follow the same pattern however:
1. merge the revision from trunk to the branch which contained the
move/rename of the file
2. merge the revision of the modification from trunk on the then moved file
