svn commit bug?

I have a post-commit script which updates an already checked-copy of a
repository (for speed, instead of export or checkout). However,
sometimes the script is busy for a long time, and I get the following
error after a commit:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/foo/bar'
svn: MERGE of '/svn/foo/bar': timed out waiting for server (http://1.2.3.4)

svn status on my WC confirms this. However, the change is commited on
the repository, despite this message, and the commit shows up in svn log
on a freshly checked-out copy. The WC remains out of date though, and I
have to obliterate it to continue work.

Is this a know bug, and is there a way to work around it?
