problem with 'svn st' on external directory

I have a repository with several project subdirectories. project2
contains some svn:external references to subdirectories of project1. I
have a working copy for each project (WC1 and WC2 respectively).

I just experienced some strange behaviour with 'svn st' while working in
one of the external directories in WC2. Basically 'svn st' returned no
output, as if WC2 was up to date. The problem is that I had made few
revisions from WC1 and committed them.

Within WC1 of repo1:

[bcomisky@twain @hfss]$ svn info pswopTestOutput.m
Path: pswopTestOutput.m
Name: pswopTestOutput.m

Within the project1 external subdirectory of WC2:

[bcomisky@twain @hfss]$ svn st
[bcomisky@twain @hfss]$ svn info pswopTestOutput.m

[bcomisky@twain @hfss]$ svn up
U pswopTestOutput.m
Updated to revision 239.

You can that 'svn up' updated to HEAD but 'svn st' didn't show anything
beforehand. Is there a way I could have corrupted the repository or the
WC? Or should I just 'svn up' and forget it?
