There is a caching of credentials. Both SVNKit and JavaHL uses default
credentials cache storage at ~/.subversion/auth
(%APPDATA%/Subversion/auth on Windows).

Subversion needs user name to be provided for commit operation, even
when it is performed over "file" protocol. When no user name is
specified, default system one should be used. I think SVNKit was
throwing an exception when no user name was provided instead of using
default one.
You may fix it by using SVNClient.setPrompt(...) and returning user name
when asked or try latest version of SVNKit from "trunk" - most probably
it will resolve the problem. If not, please let me know.
