The behavior for UNCHECKOUT on versioned collections isn't described in 
RFC3253, but the errata list 
(<http://www.webdav.org/deltav/protocol/rfc3253-issues-list.htm>) says:

"14_MISSING_ SEMANTICS
	
Editorial
	
Editor
	
The semantics of UNCHECKOUT applied to a version-controlled collection 
is undefined.
	
Julian Reschke: message
	
Define UNCHECKOUT semantics to be those of doing an UPDATE to the 
DAV:checked-out version."


What's relevant is 14.11 (IMHO), which says:

"...If a new version-controlled member is in a workspace that already 
has a version-controlled resource for that version history, then the new 
version-controlled member MUST be just a binding (i.e., another name 
for) that existing version-controlled resource. Otherwise, the content 
and dead properties of the new version-controlled member MUST have been 
initialized to be those of the version specified for that version 
history by the request..."

So it seems that creating a *different* version controlled resource 
would be allowed here.
