Empty logentry block in 'svn log --xml'

Something odd is happening to a user of Cruise that we don't
understand... He has an svn server that when the following svn log
command is executed, the xml response back contains an empty logentry
block.

Environment:
  OS Information: Windows Server 2008 6.0
  Subversion: command-line client version 1.6.6.

Command being executed:
  svn --username *** --password *** log --non-interactive --xml -v
--limit 1 svn://hostname/url/path

Response:
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <log>
    <logentry revision="3861">
    </logentry>
  </log>

We made the assumption that there would always be content in that
section, but that was clearly invalid. Any ideas on what the cases are
where this could possibly happen?

Thanks,
