`blame' says "Client/server version mismatch", but (I think) they're the same version

My server was built from http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/0.33.0;
it's an up-to-date version of Debian `testing'.

Every operation I've tried on the client so far has worked; `blame'
is the only one that has had any trouble.

All the communication is via the "svn+ssh" protocol.

Anyway: on the server, when I do `svn blame .bash_logout', I see what
is clearly correct output:

    $ svn --version
    svn, version 0.33.0 (dev build)
       compiled Nov 14 2003, 11:00:01

    $ svn blame .bash_logout
         5 erich # when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy
         5 erich
         5 erich case "`tty`" in
         5 erich /dev/tty[0-9]) clear
         5 erich esac

But on the client -- the Debian `unstable' package of Subversion,
whose version number in the Debian dpkg database is 0.33.0-1 -- , I
see

    $ svn --version
    svn, version 0.33.0 (r7737)
       compiled Nov 16 2003, 15:55:24

    $ svn blame .bash_logout
    svn: Client/server version mismatch
    svn: Server did not send repository root

And just for laughs, on a very up-to-date Cygwin machine:

    $ svn --version
    svn, version 0.33.0 (r7737)
       compiled Nov 14 2003, 11:09:04

    $

Now, the server's version string indeed differs from those of both
clients, but only in the stuff in parentheses, so I figured the
clients ought to interoperate with the server...

Is this a bug, or do I need to keep the versions in tighter sync?
