That does seem a bit strange. However, keep in mind you didn't just delete folder you also deleted folder/.svn so and svn st shows the folder as unversioned. Even if I co the folder is show the status as ?.

I am assuming that svn is tracking more than the folder name... so that when you remove it and recreate it some id or aspect of it is modified. It is also strange that if you delete the folder that you created and do an SVN up it doesn't come back...

I do think there is a bug here somewhere.

Like you said, "DON'T DO THIS".
