In this case, 'folder_a' in trunk is not newly created empty directory
but root node of the subtree which is copied from branch with history
doc01.txt was moved from parent directry in source branch. So 'doc01.txt'
is not new in 'folder_a'. This is why 'doc01.txt' in 'folder_a' is not
marked as 'A'.

As I described above, I think it is not a bug but expected behavour.
However I only explained operational semantics, and it might different
from what it should be, as a specification.

Roughly speaking, C++ is a superset of C, so I believe you can do it,
if you want to do.
Please see 'Apache Subversion Community Guide (aka "HACKING")'[1] for
how to contribute, including how to read the Subversion source code.
