svnadmin create repo --compatible-version 1.6
svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo/A ^/B
svnmucc -mm propset svn:externals '^/A_at_1 A' file://`pwd`/repo/B
svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo/A/C

Using 1.7:

  $ svn1.7 co file://`pwd`/repo/B wc
  $ svn1.7 st -u wc
  X wc/A
  Status against revision: 3

  Performing status on external item at 'wc/A':
          * /home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/wc/A/C
          * 1 /home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/wc/A
  Status against revision: 3

Using 1.8:

  $ svn co file://`pwd`/repo/B wc
  $ svn st -u wc
  svn st -u wc
  X wc/A
  Status against revision: 3

  Performing status on external item at 'wc/A':
  Status against revision: 1

It's fixed in 1.8.
