Unhelpful error message when SVN URL is incorrect

The following command:

svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/build/win32/

reports

svn: URL 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/build/win32' doesn't exist

which is to be expected, as I made up the URL.

However, if I do

svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/build/win32/

followed by

svn switch http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/build/win32/ win32

The response is:

svn: REPORT of '/repos/svn/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (http://svn.collab.net)

It's not exactly obvious that it really is an error (200 OK looks OK)
and the message says nothing about what went wrong (assuming that
something did go wrong).

This is using the latest SVN Windows client from CollabNet:
svn, version 1.6.2 (r37639)
   compiled May 8 2009, 19:24:44

I've searched the Bug database and cannot find anything directly relevant.
Is this a new bug that needs to be reported?
