Okay, gstein reminded me on IRC to check the server's error_log (duh).
It said:

auth_ldap authenticate: user authentication failed; URI
/svn/repos/!svn/act/dc304acb-55ae-0310-85bf-e3a3d4ca9180 [User is not
unique (search found two or more matches)][No such object]

That's what auth_ldap seems to say when you pass it a blank username. I
explicitly did "--username slamb" on the commandline. It error_logged
about a blank password and the client prompted for user/pass. I entered
them and it worked.

Is it possible that my working copy's .svn/auth/{username,password}
would get messed up somehow? I'm afraid I didn't think to cat their
contents first.
