Is svnserve really allowing you to create a random svn: junk property?
I was pretty sure that servers validated svn: properties -- only a
scant few exist, and users aren't supposed to be able to invent them.
My guess is that apache is throwing an error (207 mult-status probably
contains a 5XX code inside it somewhere) when it fails validate the
outgoing svn:asdf property, and then the svn client chokes on the
error.
