In my opinion, this behaviour is exactly the reason to do a branch. Yes,
you have to do the manual copy/delete on the extra branches. This is
because the branch is a copy, which means that from then on for SVN it
is a seperate entity with its own version history.

Branching a branch is never a problem. Perhaps this link (
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/ch04.html ) might prove usefull
to get some insight on what's best to do. As allways, branching and
merging are activities that should be done with proper preperation and
planning.
