This coincidence doesn't seem to be important.  The bug is
still there
even if I manually change all of the log messages to be
distinct.

I haven't yet figured out how to create this situation
using CVS, but
according to the CVS source code it appears to have
something to do with
committing a revision on a branch after the branch is
created, and
corrects a previous CVS bug where a repository checked out
with both
'-r' and '-D' options would improperly include a file
that hadn't been
added on the branch until later than the specified date. 
This code is
apparently triggered in CVS's "tagdate" test
case.

Perhaps even more curious is r10, which includes CVS's
generated log
message from the synthetic "dead" revision, but
doesn't modify any paths
at all:

I'm still working on this.  But other people should of
course feel free
to jump in...
