Thanks for sharing this!
A similar (but more obscure) error message due to the same underlying
problem is documented in the FAQ:
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#ssl-error-336032856
I suppose we should add your error message to that FAQ entry, too.
Would you be able to provide a patch against
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/site/publish/faq.html
that makes this change?
