back-end fsfs DB corruption? - attempt to merge uncovering it

(svn 1.6.3 server and client)

When we do a merge, we get 3/4 of the way through and encounter a tree
conflict, that effectively halts it. Many hours work down the drain
as there's no --resume feature.

When trying to reproduce it, but more quickly, we're having some
success exposing it with a "--accept theirs-full" merge (w/o
specifying a diff3-cmd argument).

It ends like so:

       --- Merging r1234 through r2345 into 'foo/Foo'
       G foo/Foo
       --- Merging r1234 through r2345 into 'foo/Bar'
       G foo/Bar
       svn: Attempt to add tree conflict that already exists
       svn: Error reading spooled REPORT request response

Is the source file in error 'foo/Bar' or some unnamed file that
follows it ?

Attempts to reproduce in the child directories yield differing results:

    1) cd into foo/ try the merge there (after refining the from-url)
and it passes just fine as follows.

       svn merge --accept-theirs <url>/foo .

       Weird !!

    2) cd into foo, but do the alleged file individually :

       svn merge --accept-theirs <url>/foo/Bar Bar

       This one barfs, like with the following in the command shell :

       svn: '/svn/rootfolder/!svn/bc/1666/trunk/foo/baz' path not found

       Weirder still huh ? Its not even the right file it is
objecting to.

Other data points are:

    3) we can make further whitespace changes to Bar in trunk and the
branch, and commit them just fine

    4) there were no renames to the file in question either on trunk
or branch.

    5) we upgraded from Svn 1.5 to 1.6.3 a week ago.

Thoughts?
