You're not wrong; you've just discovered one of the big "annoyances" on
the svn 1.1 hit-list.

Basically, a whole bunch of svn commands should be smart enough to
follow history... but only 'svn log' actually does it. For example, if
I run 'svn diff -r X:Y URL', and the URL@Y happens to have been copied
from a different location, the diff command should be able to
automatically discover the oldURL@X, and then compare the two different
URLs.

The workaround for now is that *you* have to discover the old location
(via 'svn log -v'), and then run

     svn diff URL1@X URL2@Y
