svn status issues when deleting a file

Hi,

I have come about an issue with svn status I wanted to share for
discussion whether my interpretation is wrong or this actually could
be considered as a bug. My goal is to find out the latest version of a
file/directory in the repository. Which should be in theory the latest
commited version of a file (so the second number svn status prints
out, if your workarea is up to date).

I have a directory under svn version control with some files in it:

              110 67 herth Hallo.txt
              110 110 herth asdf
              110 110 herth .
Status against revision: 110

now I delete "asdf" and commit the change. Running svn status -u -v gives me:

              110 67 herth Hallo.txt
              110 110 herth .
Status against revision: 111

Here the problem starts to manifest. I modifyed "." but neither the
last committed version number changes, nor is it shown as out of date.

if I run svn up, it changes to:
              111 67 herth Hallo.txt
              111 111 herth .
Status against revision: 111

So now status clearly reports that "." changed its latest committed
version number from 110 to 111, without giving a hint in status
before, that it was not at that version. Of course, updating did not
actually change my workarea, as the deleted file was already gone. In
this sense, the workarea was not really out of date. But then the
status should have shown "." at 111 directly after the commit and not
only after updating.
Comparing to the behaviour of file changes, this confirms it, if I
edit Hallo.txt I get:

M 111 67 herth Hallo.txt
              111 111 herth .
Status against revision: 111

and committing it I get:

              112 112 herth Hallo.txt
              111 111 herth .
Status against revision: 112

Here, committing did bump the revision of the file, without a need for
an update. So I think committing of the file deletion should have
bumped the version of the directory too, or am I missing something?
