I believe it would be fine for libsvn_ra_dav to catch and ignore this
error. It's just trying to write an unnecessary cache to save itself
some work in future operations.

Or we could go all extreme and simply turn off the resource walk for
switches in 1.2. This way, the wcprop callback would never get
invoked during a switch, and you shouldn't see any of these problems.
This would:

   - fix the compatibility problem.

   - speed up ra-dav switches.

   - add a few small extra network turnarounds to the first ra-dav
     operation that needs a vsn-rsrc-url for each path in the tree
     (but afterwards it would be cached). and actually, it's not even
     that bad, but because any paths touched during an update would
     get their vsn-rsrc-urls cached at no additional cost.
 
We could always re-enable the resource walk again in the future if we
wanted to.
