There are a few more things that could be done for consistency.

    * Qotes within error messages: '%s' vs. \"%s\". I think we meant to
      standardise on single quotes.
    * Message texts
          o Close-file errors: "Failed to close file '%s'" vs. "Error
            closing file '%s'"
          o Unversioned resource errors: "'%s' is not under version
            control" vs. "'%s' not under version control" vs. "'%s' is
            not versioned". And we seem to be using two different error
            codes for these, SVN_ERR_WC_PATH_NOT_FOUND and
            SVN_ERR_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND

I don't know if fixing these inconsistencies was what you intended.

We shouldn't have multi-line error messages. They may be marginally
acceptable for the command-line client, but play badly with GUI clients.
Instead, we should create a chain of (wrapped) errors with the same
error code, but different message text.
