Correction: In the actual case I named the directory "modified". I
renamed it to "dir" in my example but I forgot to rename it in the
Subversion output. So here is the updated description of what happened:

     $ svn add "dir/@File.txt"
     svn: warning: 'dir_at_File.txt' not found

     - note the missing slash in the Subversion output

     $ svn add "dir/@File.txt@"
     svn: warning: 'dir/@File.txt@' not found

     - the slash has been preserved but the trailing at sign was not
       stripped
