I reproduced your bugs with subversion 1.3.0-5, so I can properly
discuss it with upstream.  Unfortunately, I don't know much about the
Perl bindings.  But comparing "svn status" with your command, it does
seem to correspond to the "." entry.  I wonder if that is even
considered a bug.  I mean, if you prefix each entry with $(pwd)/, it is
fine.

Right, that's definitely a bug.  Even if this isn't something the perl
bindings can fix on their own, they should carp or something.
