SVN.EXE cannot checkout old revision after server side copy

I am running SVN version 1.4.4 on WIN32. The svn -r nnnn checkout
command failed for some paths where nnnn < HEAD. I thought that the
large size of the repository (over 30GB!) was the cause of the problem
but as the following BAT script output LOG shows it has nothing to do
with size. It seems to have something to do with creating a branch using
svn copy. The script and the output of the script is as follows.

I will try to also reproduce the problem on a linux platform in the near
future.
