One of my test systems isn't running any virus or indexing software
or any other filesystem walker that I know of.
http://www.sysinternals.com/ has a free FileMon program that is a
sort of poor man's ktrace. It might be able to catch the bug in the act.
Can you point me to the patch or the line in SVN's source code of
interest? I have a repeatable test case; perhaps I can instrument it and
learn something.
