I can confirm that the outcome on my system is exactly as you
describe.
svn diff --changelist ARG appears to work only in the root of a
working copy, not in a subdirectory.
When run in a subdirectory there is no output, even though the file
has changed.
FYI I did not run your reproduction script but I did perform similar
actions on one of my working copies and I can confirm.
I am using Subversion 1.12.2 which I likewise built and installed from
source a couple of days ago. There were no problems in make check.
Not that it appears to make any difference but my platform: Debian 9.9
"Stretch" and svn version: 1.12.2 (r1863366).
The rest of your email with reproduction script follows. I'm
preserving it because it has been a couple of weeks since you

Here's a little shell script that reproduces the problem:
