All, Apologies for the delayed response. Yes, my report was not about how the files were created when deployed, but rather how they were created within a working copy when an 'svn mv' was done. I probably wouldn't have considered that it might be a bug if it weren't for the inconsistency: if you perform those same steps against a *directory*, it retains the ACL as it would if you had done a 'mv'.
Anyhow, I'm afraid I don't have the working environment to test this against current, but if you would still like a bug report I would be happy to submit one.
