sequence "/@" in file path - Subversion bug?

Hello,

I have a problem trying to commit files whose names start with an at 
sign (@). I have read the advices to append an additional at sign to the 
file name. It works some times but it does not work in certain 
situations. One of the situations is that the at sign is at the 
beginning of the file name. Then some commands, such as "svn add" and 
"svn commit", do not work:

    $ svn add "dir/@File.txt"
    svn: warning: 'modified@File.txt' not found

    - note the missing slash in the Subversion output

    $ svn add "dir/@File.txt@"
    svn: warning: 'modified/@File.txt@' not found

    - the slash has been preserved but the trailing at sign was not
      stripped

For 'svn add', there is an easy workaround:

    $ cd dir
    $ svn add '@File.txt'
    A         @File.txt
    $ cd ..

This workaround is sufficient for 'svn add' because I can add the files 
in several steps.

But I cannot use the work-around for 'svn commit' if I want to commit 
individual files in different diectories. Commit should be atomic, so I 
should commit all new/modified/removed files with a single invocation of 
'svn commit'.

The only working workaround I have found so far is using changelists. 
But this only works with Subversion 1.5 and newer releases.

Correction: In the actual case I named the directory "modified". I 
renamed it to "dir" in my example but I forgot to rename it in the 
Subversion output. So here is the updated description of what happened:

     $ svn add "dir/@File.txt"
     svn: warning: 'dir@File.txt' not found

     - note the missing slash in the Subversion output

     $ svn add "dir/@File.txt@"
     svn: warning: 'dir/@File.txt@' not found

     - the slash has been preserved but the trailing at sign was not
       stripped
