Yes, it was reported here before, by Stefan Küng.
Evgeny Kotkov confirmed that it was probably related to APR 1.7.0, and
pointed to this commit:

    https://osdn.net/projects/tortoisesvn/scm/svn/commits/28674

See this previous thread on this list:

    https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8ca1ec31c50921c0268b76ca487e0b1e26d165fe80dad51cdbeb6674%40%3Cdev.subversion.apache.org%3E

Apparently this was not reported back to APR (they were cc'ed on a
previous mail in this thread, but their wasn't any clear question /
handover, so it fell through the cracks I guess).
I've forwarded this thread again to dev_at_apr last week, where it is
currently being discussed:

    https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r28e478074055436b27b13f7487203448079aea5adfe4207007ad7ea9%40%3Cdev.apr.apache.org%3E

We know now that the problem isn't specific to the use of "subst", but
actually to all "working copies on drive roots", so also when you
perform a checkout to C:\ for example.
Probably also with "shared folders" over the network, when the
wc-root is the share-root, as was just reported to TSVN here:
