You're right that should work, it does for me anyway:
$ svnadmin create cltest
$ svn co file:///Users/rob/cltest cltest-wc
Checked out revision 0.
$ cd cltest-wc/
$ touch a
$ touch b
$ touch c
$ svn add a b c
A a
A b
A c
$ svn ci -m "add a, b and c"
Adding a
Adding b
Adding c
Transmitting file data ...
Committed revision 1.
$ rm c
$ mkdir c
$ svn st
~ c
$ vi a
$ vi b
$ svn st
M a
M b
~ c
$ svn cl CL1 a b
Path 'a' is now a member of changelist 'CL1'.
Path 'b' is now a member of changelist 'CL1'.
$ svn st
~ c

--- Changelist 'CL1':
M a
M b
$ svn ci --cl CL1 -m "test"
Sending a
Sending b
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 2.
$ svn st
~ c

What caused the obstruction in your case? Can you reproduce the problem in
your environment using my scenario? Which OS are you on? What version of
SVN?
