Yes it is intentional.
If we use 'svn_fs_base__retry_txn' instead of 'svn_fs_base__retry' it
tries to open one more trail and hence aborts.

'begin_txn' in subversion/libsvn_fs_base/trail.c has the following comment,
<snip>
      /* [*]
         If we're already inside a trail operation, abort() -- this is
         a coding problem (and will likely hang the repository anyway). */

</snip>
