This has been reported in issue2742:

`darcs check` in B prints "The repository is consistent!" and silently 
writes the missing object into B's pristine, fixing the issue. `darcs 
repair` does the same thing, printing "already consistent".

(darcs check is an alias for darcs repair --dry-run).

I'm opening this issue in order to track it separately.
The issue could be related to the resolution for issue2001.
