The fact that you're using "svn+ssh". I think it was pretty clear from my
first quote. Sorry if that wasn't. The svn+ssh scheme is an administration
nightmare. Through svn+ssh, you accessing repository with connected user
credentials. Your error message points that you have(had) at least one process
accessing repository with credentials that not satisfy owner/umask of the
repository.
While working with https (for instance), repository is accessed by single user
- one that is assigned in Apache configuration (not always one that is Apache
runned from, there's a ways to impersonate a child process with different
credentials), reducing any authorization issues to the authentication times.

Lock file was probably created initially when repository was established or
left behind when something nasty happened in it's life. Try disconnecting
repository, run necessary finishing tasks to make sure it's state consistent
and delete the file manually.
It does not "have a bug", it's just a thing that needs a great care, at times
turning into your personal little nightmare...
