It is never a good idea to use HKLM if there's even a chance of using
HKCU instead. HKLM must only be used if it can't be avoided in any other
way.
That said: you always must install TSVN as Admin if you plan to use it
from different user accounts. Also, if you install it as a normal user
it will only work if that user has the rights to modify HKLM - if those
modifications are not possible you won't get context menu's in normal
user accounts. That's in fact one of those very rare places TSVN _must_
use HKLM due to requirements of the shell: the shell extension has to be
registered to be used by normal users in HKLM - otherwise only Admins
can use it (Microsoft implemented it that way for security reasons).

It is known, but not as a real problem. You're the first one reporting
problems because of that. And no, it _can't_ be corrected - you must
install it with an Admin account in that case.
