Looks like a very good fix - doesn't make the proxy or the clients have
any special knowledge.

I have added issue #3561
<http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3561> to track this
(mainly because I think it is good to have a place of reference for
every significant bug fix that is made in a back-port branch, and also
because it is not very easy to trace the emails in the Apache archive).
