Yes, they are freshly imported directories.

I found in the SVN book where this behavior is explained
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.advanced.html#svn.branchmerge.advanced.ancestry).
Fourth paragraph under the "Noticing or Ignoring Ancestry" section.

I only wish they mentioned all this in the Vendor Branches chapter.
