It certainly sounds like Emacs is getting the svn status of the file
wrong. This may or may not be due to a problem parsing the output of the
"svn status" external command. Eg it could be due to us not calling "svn
status"; http://debbugs.gnu.org/7850 comes to mind.

The most helpful thing is of course a recipe to reliably reproduce the problem.
Failing that, you might try edebugging vc-next-action to see why it gets
"state" wrong.

I'm using the one in the current Emacs trunk. You can use locate-library
or somesuch to find yours.
