Thanks for your response! I did not make much progress: I know that
--config-file option is necessary for reproduction, that actual config
file is irrelevant (may be empty), and here is the ASAN report from
subversion r1796426 and apr 1.6.0 with -DAPR_POOL_DEBUG=13 (I replaced
path prefixes with // for convenience).

When I comment out `add_object_ref' in `lookup' the bug remains, but
when I delete it from `insert' svnserve exits successfully.
