I didn't even get as far as you do on Windows:

c:\> svn co
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/copy-on-update@26405 cou
..
c:\> svn merge -r26233:HEAD http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
c:\temp\bug\cou

First run, it almost aborts immediately with a DEBUG_DOUBLE_FREE error.
That is caused by handling the 501 error code resulting from the
collab.net server not being mergeinfo aware. I patched this on my local
serf and sent the patch to serf-dev this morning for review.

Second run I get a bit further. First, I get a merge conflict - which
you didn't mention but I presume it's expected:
..
Conflict discovered in
'C:/temp/bug/cou/subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c'.
Select: (p)ostpone, (d)iff, (e)dit, (h)elp : p

Then I get a stacktrace somewhere in the svn_subr__win32_xlate_to_stringbuf:
     libapr.dll!apr_palloc(apr_pool_t * pool=0x00000001, unsigned int

So it looks like there was an error, but the memory used to store the
error message was corrupted (pool=0x00000001). I presume we can still
trust the line number of the error - 2607 - being correct. The only
source file I could find with an error on line 2607 is io.c:
  if (status)
    return svn_error_wrap_apr(status, _("Can't open file '%s'"),
                              svn_path_local_style(fname, pool));

I didn't get to the bottom of this issue yet, but it's reproducible -
after 15 minutes. Note that such memory corruptions aren't new in
ra_serf, until now they've all been caused by using the wrong pool
during memory allocation.

I do have a local patch for the ra_serf-auth branch which fixes such an
issue, I'll see if that fixes this too.
