I bet the discrepancy has to do with your exclude filter. The --exclude=.svn tells the receiver never to delete a file named .svn, so it does not delete such a file's parent directories either, even if they are extraneous. Deletions of parent directories are neither itemized nor performed on a real run, but unfortunately, rsync 2.6.9 and earlier incorrectly itemize them on a dry run.
