How to preserve err->apr_err error codes over the wire in ra_dav?

<short version>
  In order to properly use the svn_ra_change_rev_prop2() API (on the
  'atomic-revprop') branch, I'd like to make it return a specific error code
  (over all RA layers) when the propchange fails due to the provided expected
  value not being the found value. (That's kinda the point of the new API.)

  To do so, I'd like to have mod_dav_svn transmit the error code it saw to
  ra_neon/ra_serf; currently it swallows the error code and I don't see yet
  how to unswallow it.

  I see from the code that this should be possible using <svn:error/> and
  <human-readable errcode="%d"/> tags, but I don't see yet how.
</short version>

Over all RA layers, I get the following error message:

"revprop 'flower' has unexpected value in filesystem"

Over ra_local and ra_svn, the error chain contains the original error code
(SVN_ERR_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE, 125005):

[[[

That's good.

However, over ra_neon and ra_serf, while the the error chain contains the
original message text, the only error codes available are
SVN_ERR_RA_DAV_REQUEST_FAILED and SVN_ERR_RA_DAV_PROPPATCH_FAILED:

Is it possible to make mod_dav_svn allow another (specific) apr_err error
code to be passed over the wire to the client? I'd like the error chain on
the ra_neon/ra_serf side to contain SVN_ERR_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE (125005).

Looking at `egrep 'apr_err = |svn_error_create' libsvn_ra_neon/*`[1] tells me
that the answer should involve ELEM_svn_error (svn:error) and
ELEM_human_readable (<human-readable errcode="%d"/>).

Hints, please?

Thanks,

Daniel

[1] libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:start_err_element() contains the only relevant match.
