Thanks for the Procmon log.
I spent the last two hours going over it with a microscope, but came up
empty. I also stepped through the whole code to find out where it might
fail:

* in case your harddrive is often going to sleep and you don't have the
latest drivers installed, the call to GetDriveType() (in the apr
library) can return DRIVE_UNKNOWN and that would make the status call fail.
* if your working copy is on a mount point/symlink, then svn can fail to
detect that root properly. There was a commit in Subversion which should
have fixed this (r1158187, r1158196, r1158201, r1158207). But maybe that
didn't fix things completely?
