I see a similar issue when updating the entire working structure.  I
bring that up because, frankly, if you want to delete something, you
should just delete it, not try to find an update that does so.

[bob@localhost trunk]$ svn update -r 8
D    deleted.txt
Updated to revision 8.
[bob@localhost trunk]$ svn copy -m ''  .
file:///home/bob/tmp/svnroot/tags/deletedtag1
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: File not found: transaction '9-2', path '/tags/deletedtag1'
