Against FreeBSD CVS I also can't. 

Hmm... hmm... hmm... hmm...
...duh ...duh ...duh ...duh
.checking.checking.checking.

I tried some checkouts and it seems that while using default clean
checkout (even from the same repo I saw the problem) I do not get such
situation. But in my working checkout I have quite a few directories
with full repo path in Repository file (intermixed with even more
directories not touched by this problem). Most (all?) of them were
checked out 7-10 years ago ;-)

So maybe this is not a true problem in fact, just recommendation to
use fresh checkouts for conversion.

PS I keep the suggestion to mention [convert] cvsps setting
in convert docs...
