Put that into the context of the error message:

Only you (the user) knows "if it was interrupted" or is maybe still
running! I would say that this message could be improved[0], but
otherwise the behaviour when encountering a lock is nothing that could
be improved much, it really relies on the user to make an informed
decision. This is not different from older SVNs though, only that the
location in only one spot (central metadata location) hopefully improved
the cleanup speed.
Other than that, update could probably fail without keeping the working
copy locked. Depending on the internals, this could be complex though,
or leave the working copy in a state of mixed revisions.

'cleanup' if it was interrupted." In no case should it suggest running
cleanup unconditionally, as it does now.
