Ah, yeah, I can see how that might cause some problem or other, and 
no there aren't any keywords in mine.  Also, the fact that you're on 
Windows is, I suspect, involved.  Lemme give this a try and see what 
I see; what I suspect is:

(a) because the shell is running the script it's opened with lock 
(Windows default)
(b) this causes svn to be unable to modify the wc with the new version.
(c) evidently, svn then manages to copy the old file into the base, 
so it has the wrong checksum (contents)
