Yes, the stack trace is all I needed to find the bug:

[[[
* Perform an authentication exchange */
static svn_error_t *try_auth(svn_ra_svn__session_baton_t *sess,
                             sasl_conn_t *sasl_ctx,
                             svn_boolean_t *success,
                             const char **last_err,
                             const char *mechstring, <== Note "const" ...
                             apr_pool_t *pool)
{
[...]
         default:
            /* For anything else, delete the mech from the list
               and try again. */
            {
              char *dst = strstr(mechstring, mech); <== ... silently discarded.
              char *src = dst + strlen(mech);
              while ((*dst++ = *src++) != '\0') <== Line 406, EXC_BAD_ACCESS
                ;
              again = TRUE;
            }
]]]

Fixing now...
