I confirm it works when dir and file do not have the same name. E.g., if you 
rename new file 'B' in the attached testcase to, say, 'X' - it passes. There 
is one more condition for this bug to manifest: the offending directory must 
be the current directory: even though

$ svn merge -c 4 ^/trunk/foo .

fails, the following

$ wc=`pwd`
$ cd ..
$ svn merge -c 4 ^/trunk/foo $wc

works. I guess, it's sort of a workaround.

Issue 4139 created. Attached is a patch that adds an XFail to the test suite 
for this issue.
