Is it that the WC metadata was getting screwed up, was it that the
actions were being recorded properly, but were being done weirdly?

I routinely use the command-line, TSVN, and Eclipse on the same WC and
have had no trouble. The most important part is to make sure they're
all speaking the same language when it comes to the WC metadata - all
need to be based upon the same SVN version.
