Isn't this the expected behaviour regarding the current state of the
svn:externals implementation?

I am quoting the svnbook here
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html):
File externals cannot refer to files from other repositories. A file
external's URL must always be in the same repository as the URL that the
file external will be inserted into.
