Looks like you found a bug. The problem is that the logic in
svn_client_copy() is converting the src path to a URL to contact the
repository if you aren't making a copy of WORKING. The problem is two-fold.
First, it means that it will contact the repository to grab BASE. Second, it
will fail because BASE only makes sense when the source is a WC path. In the
process of converting to a URL, there was no check to see if it was BASE, or
PREV and so the copy will fail.

I'll see if I can generate a patch for this over the next couple of days.
