How about this:

Instead of selecting the repo browser directly, right-click on the folder "A"
and select "SVN Checkout".
The checkout dialog opens with the folder "A" pre selected as a target, and a
browse button for the repository url.
You might have to specify additional sub folders, in your example probably
AcmeWidgets\ACWI010xx\ACWI01030_PipeDreams.

The drawback: it'll work only if the folder you're right-clicking is not a
working copy itself. However, I guess here we start walking on highly
philosophical grounds as about if one should checkout one wc within the tree
of another wc manually (without using externals).
