That's unfortunate, but not a bug. It's a natural consequence of defining the
command-line syntax as

   PATH-OR-URL[@PEG]

There are various work-arounds: the canonical way to "escape" an argument with
no peg revision is to add an "@":

   $ svn log svn+ssh://svn@10.0.1.1@

but in this particular example you might prefer to end the URL with "/":

   $ svn log svn+ssh://svn@10.0.1.1/

or, as you showed, you can use "@HEAD".

Thanks for pointing it out.
