Earlier this year (r19471, 2006-04-28), code was added to
libsvn_repos/authz.c:authz_validate_rule() which checks that there are
no characters other than 'r' and 'w' and spaces in the authz file's
rule definition.

Are you sure this is the authz file which is actually in use? Unless
those comments at the end of the line are a problem, I'd expect your
authz file to have a improperly defined rule like:

[/tags]
@Users = s
