Thanks, I usually read the manual before troubling the community :)
Here it is, the problem description step by step:

$ svnadmin create /tmp/svn
$ svn mkdir file:///tmp/svn/vendor
$ svn import file:///tmp/svn/vendor/current
Adding a
Adding b
Adding b/c
Adding b/d
Adding b/d/g
Adding b/d/h
Adding b/e
Adding b/e/i
Adding b/e/j
Adding b/e/k
Adding b/f
Adding b/f/l
Adding b/f/m
$ svn cp file:///tmp/svn/vendor/current \
         file:///tmp/svn/vendor/snapshot1
$ svn cp file:///tmp/svn/vendor/current \
         file:///tmp/svn/trunk
$ svn rm file:///tmp/svn/trunk/b/e
$ svn diff file:///tmp/svn/vendor/snapshot1 \
           file:///tmp/svn/trunk

The last 'diff' command shows no changes. However, there are some: the
copy on the trunk does not contain the files b/e/i, b/e/j, b/e/k -
they were removed as they were a part of the b/e directory. It
appears there is no way to obtain the list of such changes.

Regards,
Alexey.
