Yes, this is a known issue. However it's not a bug in Subversion, but
in APR 1.7.x. If you use APR 1.6.5 you'll see the problem will no
longer occur.

It has been reported here some time ago ("Subversion reports status
fault on substituted drive"):
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/4797303a065e9c1091bbf445acaa3121ccb27ac2d661eb0debd1cf40%40%3Cdev.subversion.apache.org%3E


It has also been brought to the dev@apr list, where it has been
discussed somewhat, but so far without conclusion:
