Here's a recipe, and sample run at end.

rd /s/q repos wc-bob wc-tim
cls
svn --version
svnadmin create repos --fs-type=fsfs
svn checkout file:///repos wc-bob
cd wc-bob
md lib
echo >lib\file.txt
svn add lib
svn commit -m "Bob's first edit"
cd ..
svn checkout file:///repos wc-tim
cd wc-tim
svn mkdir libcomplex
svn move lib\file.txt libcomplex
svn commit --message "Moving files around, just for fun"
cd ..\wc-bob
echo "having made some edits, I'm willing to bet" >lib\file.txt
svn commit -m "Committing Bob's conflicting change"
svn update
svn status

$ svn --version

$ svn update

Updated to revision 2.

$ svn status
? lib\file.txt

So, Subversion 1.1.1 unversions the file, but leaves it as-is (no
dataloss guarantee). Use is responsible for making the right thing.

In this case, I would think there is a chance for dataloss - the user is
not informed that the file was unversionned. So, if I don't do status,
I won't know that there's something that occured in my WC.

I'll take it up on the dev@ list.

Bye !
François
