The file name never changed.

No.
But it seems that my problem is a known limitation:
Verify that the object's location (path-wise) in PEG-REV is the same
as it is in OPERATIVE-REV. If that's the case, at least the two
locations are known to be directly related, so perform the requested
action on the location in OPERATIVE-REV. Otherwise, relatedness was
not established, so error out with a loud complaint that no viable
location was found. (Someday, we expect that Subversion will be able
to handle this usage scenario with more flexibility and grace.)
This is the latter case.
One problem is that it seems to be impossible to specify an object
that was removed from the current directory (actually its ancestor),
just by using its name and some revision.
And in case you didn't see...
