This issue is the "closest match" that I have found: "Symbolic links are sometimes traversed"

Do you think that this is the same problem? If not... shall I file a new bug report?

The symlink is itself versioned. I have built Subversion 1.8.0-dev and checked whether it fixes the problem, but the error message is exactly the same as in 1.7.8.
