Oh man, that's surely it.  Thanks, folks.

Sorry,

svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053)
svn is hashed (/usr/bin/svn)
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS"
Version 1.6 is no longer supported. If there is indeed some bug in the
1.6 client that causes the behavior you describe it will not be fixed
in the 1.6 release branch. If you can, upgrade to either 1.8 or 1.9.
Symbolic links break some 1.6 operations:

$ svn1.6 co file:///... wc
$ svn1.6 info $PWD/wc | grep Kind
Node Kind: directory
$ ln -s wc wc2
$ svn1.6 info $PWD/wc2
svn: '/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj3' is not a working copy

In the changelog, it looks like this issue was fixed in 1.7.0. We have this 
entry:

* allow 'svn info' to work on symlinks to working copies (issue #2305)
