Your analysis sounds correct to me. If you think of javahl as an
'application' using the libsvn_client API, it seems that you've not
fully utilized the svn_auth.h API here, the way 'svn' or tortoisesvn
has done. I think you need to register another prompting callback
somewhere. I can help if you have questions.
I wouldn't call this a 'bug', so much as an 'incomplete client'.
You're welcome to file it as an enhancement. Perhaps Mark Phippard
or Patrick Mayweg will volunteer to fix this in javahl? (Who's
maintaining javahl these days?)

That's suspicious -- sounds like the svn_auth.h API is being used
incorrectly somewhere.
