I think I was a little hasty here. Some of the assertions that occur
before the tests start do involve Subversion code. I don't fully
understand how the ruby tests work, I assumed that each dot was a test
and that I could more-or-less ignore the valgrind assertions before
the dots. However these do look important:

All the valgrind assertions for test_info.rb occur within the ruby
library code, typically:

==13547== by 0x4C52911: (within /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8.7)

There are no valgrind assertions in Subversion code for test_info.rb.

One other thing that worries me is the runtime for the tests. On
compiled code, such as libsvn_subr/path-tests, running under valgrind
is usually 10 to 100 times slower but the ruby tests are only a little
bit slower, less than a factor of 2. I'm not sure why there is such a
difference between compiled C code and byte-compiled ruby code?
Perhaps valgrind does some sort of byte-compiling? Or perhaps it's to
do with how long the ruby tests take on my machine compared to Hyrum's
machine (528 seconds versus 18 seconds).
