So "cd notes; svn up commit-access-templates" would relocate my entire trunk wc?
At the least, this departs from current semantics of svn. I won't speak for
"many users", but I, for one, would be surprised if svn started touching the
parent of the dir I specified as target.
If this change is made, can we please add the appropriate big red letters
somewhere?

This is svn switch --relocate, not svn switch.
If you switch --relocate a working copy, you are pointing to a different
server. It makes sense to relocate the entire working copy.
If you want nested working copies pointing to different servers,
you'd use an external.
Switched subtrees (i.e. without --relocate) are different, because we know
for certain that they are from the same repository.
