The bug is believed to be in the Subversion libraries so it is not
something we can fix. I worked with one of the developers during the
1.6.x releases and there was a time when there was a fix nominated,
but when I and others tested the fix it did not resolve the problem.
The fix made it into 1.7.x by default, but obviously did not make a
difference. No one has really looked at it since.

Subclipse allows you to specify a custom configuration folder in its
preferences. You could do copy your ~/.subversion folder and name it
~/.subclipse. Then open preferences to Team > SVN and change the
preference from the "Default" location to that specific path. Then
you could turn off gnome-keyring only for Subclipse. Of course this
also means your passwords will be cached using plain text in that
folder.
