As it happens I found and fixed this particular issue a few hours ago;
the fix is nominated for backport towards 1.7.3.

As you probably know from the part of libsvn_ra_serf you cited, the
<S:txdelta/> tag is the one that causes the blow-up.
A quick grep through the libsvn_ra_serf and mod_dav_svn sources leads me
to conjecture that ra_serf requests a "send-all"=false REPORT, but
receives from your server a "send-all"=true response.

For svn client debugging, the first thing to do is to build
--enable-maintainer-mode; this enables stricter compiler warnings
and internal debugging checks (guarded by '#ifdef SVN_DEBUG').
