accessing the repository via svn+ssh fails: "svn: Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'"

I'm using svn via both cygwin and TortoiseSVN, all at the current
version (1.5.4). I can create a repository with the --file-type fsfs
option set, or without. I can checkout or list via, for example,

svn list file:///path/to/repository/

However, if I try to use svn+ssh via

svnserve -d -r /path/to/repository/
svn list svn+ssh://localhost/repository/

I always get the following error:

svn: Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'

Other instances of this problem seem to be due to a version 1.3.x
client accessing a repository created by a 1.4.x svnadmin. However, in
my case, all of the svn utilities I am using are at version 1.5.4. I
have tried all permutations of creating the repository via TortoiseSVN
or the command line, and checking out via TortoiseSVN and the command
line, but the same error always results. Does anyone know what could
be causing this and how to fix it? or how to find out what is causing
this problem?
