This turned out to be due to some weirdness in my directories.

I have /home/cmpilato under version control. I had /home/cmpilato/tests
scheduled for addition as a file. But /home/cmpilato/tests was a
*directory*. This was causing all kinds of confusing to the code in
Subversion which crawls upwards trying to identify working copy roots.

With that situation resolved, my testing shows no problems. Both trunk and
the 1.6.x branch pass 'make check' with the naive SVN_ERR()-wrapping fix in
place.
