With a well designed GUI the store-auth-creds in the config file is not
required.
I can see I'll end up with a FAQ pointing out the problems that
store-auth-creds
cause a GUI client.

I have this in my config:

[auth]
store-password = no
store-auth-creds = no

and may_save is passed in as 1 when I access a repo via HTTP:
that needs a username/password. But as you say the creds are not
stored when I set may_save to 1 in the creds struct.

Being passed 1 for may_save in the case is a bug with svn auth?
