Support for SSPI in Subversion is based in the Neon library, which added
support for SSPI in version 0.25.1 (with the current version being
0.25.4). Developers building Subversion 1.3.0, specifically TortoiseSVN
which is obviously heavily used by Windows Subversion users where this
applies, have discovered massive bugs in the SSPI support. Endless loops,
enormous increases in bandwidth usage, incorrect authentication etc...
Therefore, the JavaHL that I ship with the Windows version of Subclipse is
compiled with the SSPI support in Neon turned off. TortoiseSVN has had to
make the same change. When/if the problems are resolved in an official
Neon release, we will look into enabling it in our build.

That being said, if neither JavaSVN nor JavaHL are falling back to basic
auth I would think you have a server misconfiguration of some sort.
