svn-1.6.x, serf: Error running context: Internal error.

i've a checked out, without externals, not using serf:
https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/

and get a:

$ svn up --ignore-externals
svn: Error running context: Internal error

this is on solaris, after switching to serf in ~/.subversion. i am not
sure if this should work without problems, or such a failure could be
expected. what makes me not so sure about this is e.g. the "editor
drive order". see also [1][2][3]. the client is v 1.6.15, and the
server, sourceforge, is 1.6.9.
