It is possible that it is a special case when the item does not
already exist in the WC. Suppose the original checkout had been
--depth=immediates instead of empty. This would have brought in each
of the sub-folders as depth=empty folders beneath the parent. In that
case, an svn update on the folder does not change the depth. So you
need to use --set-depth whenever you want to expand the depth of
something. Note that in 1.5 there is no UI to decrease the depth of
something.
