I have an Ubuntu 12.04 machine and I see the expected behaviour: lots of
different timestamps.  I have run the Subversion tests on Ubuntu 10.04 in
the past without a problem.

If you do a Subversion checkout of something like
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_wc do
you see all the working files with different timestamps?  If you then
remove the working files and run 'svn revert -R' all the files should be
restored in a fraction of a second.  Do they all have different
timestamps?

You could also try mounting a tmpfs filesystem:

     sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt

Do you get the same timestamp behaviour on that filesystem?
