*sigh*

Found the issue - cross_copies was disabled.  When I upgraded, I went through
and ported settings from my old viewvc.conf to the new format in 1.1.x.  I had
cross_copies=1 in my old config, but in config that came with 1.1.2, I found:

## By default each of the configuration items is commented out, with the default
## value of the option shown.

...and for cross_copies:

## cross_copies: Cross filesystem copies when traversing Subversion
## file revision histories.
##
#cross_copies = 1

...which I presumed meant it was enabled by default.  So I left it that way :)
Uncommented and revision view works again as expected.
