I'm not an svn developer, but if you had asked this on the users@ list, I would have told you the following:

This isn't a bug; you need to use a peg revision rather than the -r syntax if you want to access paths that have since been moved or deleted. Try instead with:

  "^/trunk/A/D/h...@1 external/here".

As far as I understood, PEG revision is for disambiguating the situation when a resource has been removed but in a later revision another resource appears with the same name. In thos case you can use the PEG revision to help out SVN to decide which one do you speak about: the later or the original one. But in this case no such disambiguation is needed.

Am I wrong? If yes, than it shoud worth to mention it in the documentation that we should prefer the peg format in svn:externals.
