Merge not merging

Merge doesn't seem to be doing what I expect with 1.5.2 on both server and
client. See the following annotated script:

corolla% svn diff -c 7117 # Verify we have changes
in the changeset
Index: lxkbb

looks good so far....
--- Reverse-merging r7117 into 'lxkbb':
U lxkbb
corolla% diff lxkbb lxkbb-start # Except it
didn't do anything!
corolla%

Am I expecting the wrong thing? I thought I was merging the changes from
7117 back into this workspace, and when that didn't do anything, merging
those changes out of the workspace. Visual inspection shows me that the
changes aren't in the workspace, so when nothing happened, I was a bit
surprised. However, when the second merge said it changed lxkbb but then
didn't actually do anything - that sort of startled me.

Shouldn't at least one of those two merges - starting with the same file -
either actually do something or complain about conflicts?

Any clues as to what migh cause this behavior?

        Thanks
