I'm not an SVN dev but I reckon this isn't a bug. The whole process
consists of 3 stages (well probably more, but these are the 3 that are
obvious to me)
1 The commit transaction itself
2 Tidying up afterwards (ie deleting the temporary .txn file)
3 Sorting out your working copy

In your case it failed at stage 2 so correctly reported an error. But
since stage 1 was OK the repository looked fine.
