Sorry to be slow. I need to go revisit the locking fs code to verify
what's going on.

Philip is right, though. The following scenario is possible:

1. svn client: deletes a file in a txn
2. svn client: adds a directory by the same name
3. non-svn DAV client: locks ("reserves") an imaginary path under the
dir
4. svn client: tries to commit

svn_fs_commit_txn() needs to do a recursive lock-check below the added
directory. Which I believe it does.
