The bug you listed above has a fairly simple workaround - so it's not
exactly high priority.

Your workaround is the 'right thing' to do. All svn paths should be
URL encoded - so a directory name of "test@mathlabsyntax" should be
passed to svn as "test%40mathlabsyntax" - e.g.
svn info test%40mathlabsyntax
at the command line, or when passing in through the API calls.
Where possible, svn tries to do the right thing when a URL is not
encoded, but it doesn't (can't) get it right all the time - e.g. is
test@HEAD a directory called "test@HEAD" or a directory called "test"
at the HEAD peg-revision? That's why the path should be URL encoded.
