Possible bug in svn's gnome-keyring support?

Hi,

I noticed after updating svn to version 1.6.6 that svn now has gnome-keyring
support.

However It seems to ignore the --username --password flags if that support
is enabled. I don't use the gnome-keyring or even gnome but subversion
refused to let me commit until I turned off password-stores in the config
despite giving it a valid username and password. Instead it would prompt for
the gnome-keyring password which is not set up for me and refuse to continue
until I successfully authenticated to the keyring.

This seems like the wrong behavior to me. Is it intended?

Here is my subversion information:
