Yes, I was just going to say. I added test cases for this on trunk, and
they passed; I've just been running them on 1.8, where they pass as well.

In other words, upgrading to 1.8 will fix the issue, and in the
meantime, ask your users to either revert the delete first (i.e., 'svn
revert file; svn lock file; svn rm file; svn commit', or to use the URL
in the 'svn lock' command.
