apr_hash_overlay returns hash with duplicate keys

APR devs, Subversion devs:

On Subversion's Mac OS buildbots it appears that apr_hash_overlay()
sometimes returns a hash containing duplicate keys, which (as I
understand it) should be impossible.

We had an issue where some 'svnmover' tests were failing only on Mac
OS buildbots. I added some debugging in Subversion commits r1719056,
r1719067, r1719072, r1719074.

Buildbot result:
    https://ci.apache.org/builders/svn-x64-macosx-bdb/builds/485/steps/Test%20ra_svn%2Bbdb
    --> debug output in 'faillog' shows duplicate keys in hash:
       "union_children={A, iota, foo, boozle, boozle, iota}"

I replaced apr_hash_overlay() with my own simple re-implementation:

    http://svn.apache.org/r1719089 -- re-implement hash overlay

Buildbot result:
    https://ci.apache.org/builders/svn-x64-macosx-bdb/builds/486/steps/Test%20ra_svn%2Bbdb
    --> tests pass
    (in this step 5 of the buildbot; other tests still fail in steps 4 and 6)

The bot's config-log shows APR v1.4.5, APR-util v1.3.12.

Next questions should be: Is this a known bug? Can we reproduce it in
a small test case?
