error using 'svn merge' with ra_dav

I was trying to use 'svn merge' to undo some changes to my working copy,
so I could then commit them and effectively make my HEAD the same as an
older revision.

I got an error using ra_dav that I don't see using ra_local, involving a
file that is moved using 'svn move'. I'm using revision 6186 of
subversion, with Apache 2.0.46. I'm new to subversion, so please let me
know if I've obviously screwed up or perhaps my Apache configuration is
incorrect.

Below is a transcript of an example that demonstrates the problem, first
using ra_local, then ra_dav:

$ # ---------------- using ra_local --------------------------------
$ svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repos1
$ mkdir repos1
$ cd repos1
$ echo 'hello' > foo
$ svn import -m '' file:///usr/local/svn/repos1
Adding foo

Committed revision 1.
$ cd ..
$ svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/repos1 wc
A wc/foo
Checked out revision 1.

$ cd wc
$ svn mkdir -m '' file:///usr/local/svn/repos1/trunk

Committed revision 2.
$ svn update
A trunk
Updated to revision 2.
$ svn move foo trunk
A trunk/foo
D foo
$ svn commit -m 'moved foo to /trunk'
Deleting foo
Adding trunk/foo

Committed revision 3.
$ svn update
At revision 3.
$ svn merge -r HEAD:2 file:///usr/local/svn/repos1
D trunk/foo
D trunk/foo
A foo
$ svn status
A + foo
D trunk/foo
$ ls -1R
.:
foo
trunk

./trunk:

$ # ---------------- now using ra_dav --------------------------------
$ rm -rf /usr/local/svn/repos1 repos1 wc
$ svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repos1
$ mkdir repos1
$ cd repos1
$ echo 'hello' > foo
$ svn import -m '' http://YOUR_SVNSERVER/svn/repos1
Adding foo

Committed revision 1.
$ cd ..
$ svn checkout http://YOUR_SVNSERVER/svn/repos1 wc
A wc/foo
Checked out revision 1.
$ cd wc
$ svn mkdir -m '' http://YOUR_SVNSERVER/svn/repos1/trunk

Committed revision 2.
$ svn update
A trunk
Updated to revision 2.
$ svn move foo trunk
A trunk/foo
D foo
$ svn commit -m 'moved foo to /trunk'
Deleting foo
Adding trunk/foo

Committed revision 3.
$ svn update
At revision 3.
$ svn merge -r HEAD:2 http://YOUR_SVNSERVER/svn/repos1
svn: RA layer request failed

$ svn status
