As Bob Archer mentioned below, the 'svn update --depth' command is buggy.

  http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3569
   " svn update --depth <DEPTH> allows making a working copy incomplete"

The issue is still open.

Of course, we're just guessing that this issue is related to your problem.
You didn't mention what you did in the working copy before the problem
occurred. Was the --depth option used at all?

Can you reproduce the problem in a fresh working copy? If so, please
provide the list of commands that cause the problem.
