SVN 1.6.15 checkout fails on particular file

This is a continuation of my experiences described in the "What SVN
command-line client distro should I get to work properly with SVN 1.4.x
on the server?" subject.

My SVN server is running version 1.4.x. I'm using the latest Subversive
in Eclipse, but the connector associated with SVN 1.5.6. This works
well enough in Eclipse.

I installed SVN 1.6.15 from CollabNet. I created a new directory from
the shell and did a checkout of two of the projects I have checked out
in Eclipse. One of them completed successfully, but another one fails
each time with an error like the following:

svn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run 'svn
cleanup' and try again
svn: Can't open file '...\.svn\tmp\text-base\....svn-base': The system
cannot find the path specified.

I elided the full path to the file.

I looked in the "text-base" directory being referenced here, and it's
empty.

I did a "svn cleanup", and it chugged for a second and then went back to
the prompt.

I tried the checkout again, and it failed with the exact same error.

I also tried changing into the directory and doing "svn update", and
that also failed with the same error.

Any ideas?
