Commit one repository from inside another: runs out of memory

I've created an issue 3540, but was fairly asked to write to the mailing list first. So here's the problem. (Sorry for posting the issue first.)

===== ERROR DESCRIPTION =====

Error is seen under 1.6.6 but was also seen in previous versions.

If one repository is in a subfolder of another repository, say

D:\foo is one repository and
D:\foo\bar is a completely other repository

then commiting from the inside repository consumes huge amounts of memory and halts:

D:\foo\bar>svn ci -m ""
Out of memory - terminating application.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

===== STEPS TO REPRODUCE =====

1) cd D:\foo
2) svn checkout some-repository
3) mkdir bar
4) cd D:\foo\bar
5) svn checkout some-other-repository
6) create D:\foo\bar\a.txt
7) svn add a.txt
8) svn ci -m ""

===== SOME WORKAROUND =====

To commit successfully I have to do the following:

1) move D:\foo\bar to D:\foo\bar\bar
2) commit from D:\foo\bar\bar
3) move D:\foo\bar\bar back to D:\foo\bar

===========================

Have anyone seen anything like that? Should this problem be added to the issue tracker?
