This is a copy of the ancestor of the branch, so 'svn log' stops on it.
Nothing surprising here given the underlying design (--stop-on-copy
doesn't know where in the tree branch boundaries are).

Try

U=https://sdmpudpagport.sdm.de/pu/dpagpalis/svn/repository/software/branches/dhe_oracle_tablespaces_fuer_appcom
svn log --stop-on-copy $U -r 1953:1
svn log --stop-on-copy ${U/software/PALISNC}@1953
