Nope. It will contain TBRANCH and the files will be checked out
as of the state of the BRANCH on the date.

You could use this:
cvs update -r BRANCH -D date file
cvs diff -r BASE -r HEAD file

Yes, it is operating as intended.
If you are using cvs 1.12, then
cvs diff -u -rBRANCH:2005-08-22 -rBRANCH file
or
cvs diff -u -rBRANCH:2005-08-22 -rBRANCH:today file
will give you a diff of the 'file' between 2005-08-22 and today.
