Very strange...I added

http-proxy-exceptions = *.MYDOMAIN

to the [global] section of %appdata%\Subversion\servers and now it works.

Looks like something edited my registry (I don't recall doing it) to
add a bad proxy to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Servers\global

Sorry for the noise, hopefully this helps someone else.
