Could it be that in the course of a commit the TMP folders within
the .SVN administrative area are removed and only recreated after
the commit is (nearly) perfect?

As there had not been any suggestions on my posting below I
continued playing around with a _copy_ of the corrupted part of the
working copy and comparing it with a fresh checkout I found it
lacked all the TMP folders and the .SVN folders were not hidden
either. Random checks of the other parts of the working copy
showed the .SVN folders hidden and with a TMP folder below.

After copying the TMP folders over from the fresh checkout, setting
the .SVN folders to "hidden", removing both the two added files and
the respective "schedule=add" entries in the entries file I could
update successfully again. The errors never said anything about
missing TMP folders.

Though occasionally I do a "find" for "tmp" I can positively say that
I haven't done so recently. Nor did I fiddle with the "hidden"
properties.
