I don't understand the motivation here. Either you have a "single
virtual working copy" made out many different working copies, or you
don't.
You don't want 'svn status' to traverse externals, because you just
fetch tags. By that argument, shouldn't 'svn update' also ignore them,
since the tags never change? And 'svn commit', as well, I guess,
right... ?
You see where I'm heading here. If you want svn:externals to be ignored
by recursive operations, why use the feature at all? Just checkout a
bunch of working copies, and nest them in each other. You can write a
tiny shell script (for your developers) that 'bootstraps' by doing a few
checkouts.
