The semantics of CHECKOUT to create a working resource is defined
in section 9.3 "CHECKOUT Method (applied to a version)".

Postcondition DAV:create-working-resource-from-checked-in-version states:
      If the
      request-URL identified a version-controlled resource, and
      DAV:apply-to-version is specified in the request body, the
      CHECKOUT is applied to the DAV:checked-in version of the version-
      controlled resource, and not the version-controlled resource
      itself.

Postcondition DAV:create-working-resource states:
      The DAV:checked-out property of the new
      working resource MUST identify the version that was checked out.

So since the CHECKOUT is applied to the DAV:checked-in version and the
DAV:checked-out property identifies the version that was checked out,
then yes, the DAV:checked-out property of the new working resource
identifies the DAV:checked-in version.

Is there something in the spec that led you to believe otherwise?
