On second thought, I don't think that this is the correct solution.
Even though it solves some problems, it After some further digging, and
thanks to Lieven's analysis elsethread, this is what I've discovered.

Using check_in_props, retrieve_props() caches the correct value for
DAV:href, but doesn't cache anything for DAV:checked-in. On the second
call to retrieve_props(), the value for DAV:href doesn't get copied out
of the cache, which is the reason for the failure. This much we've
already established.

However, using href_props, we don't get *anything* cached in the first
place, because the server doesn't recognize the request. So, it returns
a 404, and subsequent attempts to use the href value fail, leading to
the serf internal error. The solution to this problem would require
modifying the server to recognize the new property request.

So, my hacky, and very inelegant solution is attached. It first tries
to use checked_in_props, and failing that, uses href_props.
