'svn import' fails with 'Require valid-user' directive

The 'svn import' command will fail if the <Location> block uses the
'Require valid-user' directive; it doesn't matter if the directive
appears in a <LimitExcept> block or not.

If 'Require valid-user' appears in a <Location> block, the following
error is printed by svn:

   svn: RA layer request failed
   svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/vault/corp/web'
   svn: PROPFIND of '/vault/corp/web': 500 Internal Server Error
(http://svnserver)
   svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
   svn: 'svn-commit.tmp'

If 'Require valid-user' appears in a <LimitExcept> block, the following
error is instead printed by svn:

   svn: RA layer request failed
   svn: MKACTIVITY of
/vault/corp/!svn/act/ab5839cb-6ccc-0310-952e-e3d59d81ae80: 500 Internal
  Server Error (http://svnserver)
   svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
   svn: 'svn-commit.2.tmp'

The 'svn import' will succeed only when the 'Require valid-user' is
completely omitted from the <Location> directive. Is this behavior
expected?
