I tried with a fresh working copy and got the same results.

I really am not sure. However, having a problem in the .svn folder could
be indicitive of a corrupted working copy. Have you tried to run a
cleanup on it?

Or... try to do a clean checkout of trunk. Personally, I don't use
switch. I check out trunk/branches to new folders as I need them. I
think it is cleaner and I don't need to remember what path the working
copy is currently pointing to.
