Thanks for the zipped working copy.
I could reproduce the problem easily.
There's a bug in the Subversion library which causes this. I've already
sent a mail to the svn dev list reporting this, including some code on
how to fix this.

And that reminds me: I think I have to intervene there about them using
the abort() function in the library code - that's just rude.
