Talked to gstein on IM, and here's a better solution:

   * have the svn client add an extra subversion namespace or attribute
to the <D:owner> attribute when sending the data.

   * have mod_dav_svn look for that special info. if present, store
only the CDATA in the repository. if not present, store the entire
chunk of XML in the repository.

That way, only generic DAV clients create these so-called "ugly" locks.
  That's much more livable. It means these things would only show up
when sites have activated Autoversioning, and that already implies
other "ugly" things, such as auto-generated log messages.
