transaction out of date when creating tag

I have a small repository that was created with Subversion 0.26.0.
I checked in some files, then did:

    svn propset svn:keywords "Id" *.c *.h Makefile
    svn commit -m "added keywords property"

Now I want to tag a release:

    svn copy svn+ssh://svn.example.com/myproject/trunk \
             svn+ssh://svn.example.com/myproject/tags/release_0.8 \
             -m "release 0.8 tag"

This gives me an error:

    svn: Transaction is out of date
    svn: out of date: `tags' in txn `3'

I've done what I think was exactly the same tagging on another repository
to which I had not added the svn:keywords property, and that seemed to work.

One of the messages on the mailing list made me think that this might be
a problem fixed in the Subversion repository, so on Wednesday, August 20
I did an update and rebuilt. I migrated the repository to the new schema,
and tried again, but I get the same error.

Since it happened even after migrating the repository, I don't think it
was a corrupted database, stale transactions, etc., though I could be
wrong. I did a dump of the new repository and the result is identical
to the dump of the original.

Any ideas?

The dump of the repository can be found at the URL
  http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/software/vecsim/vecsim-2003.08.24.dump.gz
It is about 48KB (was 222 KB before gzip).

Thanks,
Eric
