"svn cleanup" doesn't; advice needed

I'm sending this to dev@ in addition to users@, since I've researched
pretty thoroughly and have found a number of other people with this
problem (see IRC logs at http://tinyurl.com/3qts4a for a sampling), and
no useful suggestions from anyone.

The story so far:
  
  C:\CruiseControl>svn --version
  svn, version 1.4.5 (r25188)
     compiled Aug 22 2007, 20:49:04

Running on XP, Service Pack 2.

So somehow I got a wedged wc -- I probably killed a "svn up" process.
No problem, thinks I; I'll just run "svn cleanup".

Uh oh.

So: I've got a locked wc, but "svn cleanup" won't unlock it. What's the
deal? I cannot reliably reproduce this, so I hesitate to enter an issue
in the issue tracker.
