Since you sanitized your path names, is there any chance that the "t" in "my_project" is being left off on the first "missing ranges" line? E.g.
  trunk/my_project
    Missing ranges: /trunk/my_projec:4485 <--- ** Missing 't' in 'my_project' **
    Missing ranges: /trunk/my_project:4407-4408,4431,4442-4444,4485,4524,4532-4533

When I encountered this, the solution was to either merge the branch to trunk (svn merge ^/.../my_project_branch), or to explicitly specify the revision range when merging up from trunk, e.g. "svn merge -r 4401:4545 ^/trunk/my_project".
