I've surprised myself but yes, there is a simple testcase.

svnadmin create repo
svn checkout file://$PWD/repo checkout
cd checkout/
svn mkdir trunk tags branches
svn ci -m 'Standard svn layout.'
cd trunk/
svn mkdir doc
touch doc/README
svn add doc/README
svn ci -m 'Add README.'
cd ..
svn mv trunk/ branches/oldtrunk
svn ci -m 'Moved trunk.'
svn mkdir trunk
svn ci -m 'New trunk.'
cd trunk/
touch THIS_IS_THE_NEW_TRUNK
svn add THIS_IS_THE_NEW_TRUNK
svn ci -m 'Add marker.'
cd ../..
git svn clone file://$PWD/repo --stdlayout git-clone
cd git-clone/
tree

So the testcase basically involves moving the trunk.
git-svn gets very confused and keeps a mixture of the old and new trunk.
