After all, how does svn know whether news_at_11 is the name of a directory in my tree or just a syntax for “revision 11 of news”? Thankfully, while svn will always assume the latter, there is a trivial workaround. You need only append an at sign to the end of the path, such as news_at_11@. svn cares only about the last at sign in the argument, and it is not considered illegal to omit a literal peg revision specifier after that at sign. This workaround even applies to paths that end in an at sign—you would use filename@@ to talk about a file namedfilename@."

My guess is that there is just one parser used in the code base, but do not know. I do tend to agree that it seems to not make sense. It is something that may have been discussed before and maybe someone had a logic behind just being consistent everywhere?

I believe so, yes.
