svn cp FromURL ToURL: Path already exists

I've got subversion-1.6.2 running behind apache-2.2.11 and haven't had
any problem until recently (IIRC I was running 1.6.0 earlier). I now
can't create branches or trunks:

  chris$ svn ls https://svn.example.com/example/accounting/trunk
  ACCOUNTING.rst
  INSTALL.rst
  README.txt
  accounting/
  bootstrap.py
  buildout.cfg

  chris$ svn ls https://svn.example.com/example/accounting/branches
  0.1-bfg-0.7.0/
  0.2/

  chris$ svn cp https://svn.example.com/example/accounting/trunk https://svn.example.com/example/accounting/branches/0.3a
  svn: Path 'branches/0.3a/trunk' already exists

  chris$ svn --version
  svn, version 1.6.2 (r37639)

Note that path: clearly from the "svn ls" above it does not exist. more
strangely ,to me, is the destination path itself -- why is it suffixing
with 'trunk' at all?

I tried this from FreeBSD, OS X, and Ubuntu with command line clients
and get the same problem, so it appears to be a server issue.

The only thing that I find suspicious is this in my Apache logs for the
SVN virtual host:

  [error] [client 192.168.255.100]
  Failed to query lock-null status for /usr/local/www/apache22/data/example

That path doesn't exist at all in my apache conf file. There's not
enough info for me to go on, but could this be a WebDAV issue?

Google hasn't enlighten me so far. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
