It's not clear if you upgraded the client, the server, or both. However
I cannot reproduce your results with binaries from the 1.6.x and 1.7.x
branches. With the authz file:

[/]
* =
[/A/B]
foo = rw

and the command

svn rm -mm http://localhost/tmp/repo/A/B --username foo

I get:

1.6 server, 1.6 client: denied
1.6 server, 1.7 client: denied
1.7 server, 1.6 client: denied
1.7 server, 1.7 client/neon: denied
1.7 server, 1.7 client/serf: success

Perhaps the issue you are seeing is:
