svn status not showing local changes with -u

I have a local change to a file that I want to show up when I do svn 
status -u, but it doesn't:

(~/module) # svn status ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths
M      ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths

(~/module) # svn status -u ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths
Status against revision: 106549

Interestingly enough, this only occurs if 'ebi' in the example above is 
a symlink:

(~/module) # ls -l ebi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rosec devel 15 Oct  4 09:37 ebi -> ../ebi.head/ebi

If I do the same commands from a directory where that is not a symlink:
(~/module) # cd ../ebi.head
(~/ebi.head) # ls -ld ebi
drwxrwxr-x 12 rosec rosec 4096 Mar  1 15:31 ebi

(~/ebi.head) # svn status ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths
M      ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths

(~/ebi.head) # svn status -u ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths
M          106546   ebi/Makefile.pkg-paths
Status against revision: 106549

(~/ebi.head) # svn --version
svn, version 1.4.6 (r28521)

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_dav : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV (DeltaV) protocol.
   - handles 'http' scheme
   - handles 'https' scheme
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
   - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
   - handles 'file' scheme

I'm going to guess that this is a bug?  Is there a workaround?
