Source code lines transposed on checkout

I have on two occasions had two lines of code transposed on an SVN Tortoise checkout. In both cases the code was VB6. In each case an Exit command was transposed with an End If line. The code below provides an example.

' Case 1: End if Swapped with Exit For
For ...
      If ... Then
            ...
            Exit For
      End If
Next

' Case 2: End if Swapped with Exit Property
If ... Then
      ...
End If
Exit Property

On checkout to one computer the code was transposed as:

' Case 1: End if Swapped with Exit For
For ...
      If ... Then
            ...
      End If
            Exit For
Next

' Case 2: End if Swapped with Exit Property
If ... Then
      ...
Exit Property
End If

Additional detail:
In each case I checked the same baseline out on a second computer and the lines were not swapped.
I reversed the lines to correct for the error, and did a DIFF, which showed the line order correct.
I checked in and did a DIFF between the current code and the original revision, no differences were found.

We have not been able to repeat this problem. But since the issue involves End If with Exit commands, different baselines, different users, and different SVN repositories, I'm at a loss on where to look next.
