Please notice that the 1.1 revision of the file is "dead". This means that the file wasn't present on trunk when symbol00904 was originally created, then was later added on the branch. Later it was added to trunk (with version 1.2). Since there *was* no revision 1.1, it is not possible for trunk to be the parent of symbol00904. The very first appearance of the file is on symbol00904. Do you see something incorrect in the repository output by cvs2svn, or are you just concerned that no "possible parents" are listed for symbol00904 in symbol-info.txt?
