bug or user confusion?

I was playing around with svnserve and created a scenario that seems
like a bug. Admittedly, it's contrived. I'll file an issue if
confirmed as a bug.

# assuming a repo at /svn

# create svnserve.conf like so:
[general]
password-db = users
realm = soundgeek

# anonymous users can do nothing
anon-access = none

# authenticated users can both read and write
auth-access = write

# create a users file like so (note that user1 and user2 have the same
password):
[users]
user1 = passw
user2 = passw

# run svnserve
svnserve -d

# co repo as user1
svn co svn://localhost/svn user1 --username user1
< enter password >

# co repo as user2
svn co svn://localhost/svn user2 --username user2

*** no password is requested and the checkout occurs ***

If I look in the auth/svn.simple/ file for this realm, it has been
updated with user2's username.

K 8
password
V 5
passw
K 15
svn:realmstring
V 32
<svn://localhost:3690> soundgeek
K 8
username
V 5
user2
END

Even though the passwords are the same, should the auth system be
picking up the cached password from user1? Maybe this is by design but
it seems kind of odd to me.
