Correction: if it's a forward range, then it's the 'start' of a
rangelist that is supposed to be exclusive; the 'end' is inclusive.

In this case what's happening is simply that we're creating an empty
range (where start == end), but an empty range is considered invalid.

The simplest fix is probably just to set the intersection result to the
empty set, so I would expect the following patch to fix the problem.

[[[
@@ @@ adjust_deleted_subtree_ranges(svn_client...
     /* Create a rangelist describing the range PRIMARY_URL_at_older_rev
        exists and find the intersection of that and
        CHILD->REMAINING_RANGES. */
+ if (revision_primary_url_deleted - 1 > older_rev)
+ {
+ /* It was not deleted immediately after OLDER_REV, so
            it has some relevant changes. */
     exists_rangelist =
       svn_rangelist__initialize(older_rev,
                                 revision_primary_url_deleted - 1,
                                 TRUE, scratch_pool);
     SVN_ERR(svn_rangelist_intersect(&(child->remaining_ranges),
                                     exists_rangelist,
                                     child->remaining_ranges,
                                     FALSE, scratch_pool));
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ /* It was deleted immediately after the OLDER rev, so

+ child->remaining_ranges = apr_array_make(scratch_pool, 0,
+ sizeof(svn_merge_range_t *));
+ }

There are three existing tests that exercise this code path, which I
found by inserting a debug print statement here and running the test
suite:

  merge_authz_tests.py 2
    relpath='D/gamma', older_rev=1, younger_rev=6, rev...deleted=5

  merge_tests.py 83
    relpath='D/H/psi', older_rev=1, younger_rev=12, rev...deleted=7

  merge_tests.py 94
    relpath='psi', older_rev=1, younger_rev=9, rev...deleted=8

I'm still trying to create a new test specifically for this problem.
