It can happen because of wrong capitalization in the path. Are "a" and "b" real names? Are you able to reproduce this with the Greek tree (repro-template.bat) [1]? Did you do the checkout with command-line client or with Tortoise? AFAIK, Tortoise 1.7.3+ does some additional work to normalize paths before passing them to Subversion library methods. (TSVN issue 156. There was notorious bug in that code - issue 169. Fixed in TSVN 1.7.4 [2]). In my experience Windows command shell also does some normalization when I do "cd" command.
