Not sure about the issues question... there is a bunch of stuff related
to neon and authentication issues that I see being discussed on the dev
list. No "fixes" have been officially released... a Subversion 1.4.1 is
expected soonish.
You may want to test whether 1.4 works for you first before moving
anyone over.

In any case, here is a link to some scripts that someone posted for
doing the actual repository upgrade. Apparently these were used to
upgrade over 800 repositories (sounds well tested to me):
