Issue #899 (of which #1041 is a duplicate) claims to be fixed in
r4096. It sounds like you're seeing a regression? Can you show us a
precise transcript?
-------------------------

As far as I can tell, it's not a regression. #899/1041 is a complaint that
the situation leaves the WC in a broken state. The fix for it is that "svn
update" fails cleanly. What I am arguing for is that this situation should
not be an error, but rather should be treated similarly to when the file
previously existed and two users simultaneously changed its contents -- "svn
update" should complete, leaving the correct assortment of conflict files so
the user can merge the two files.
