Interesting, thanks.
I guess the next step is to look at the response headers. (You can use neon-debug-mask if you use neon, or wireshark/tcpdump if you don't use
SSL.) In particular, whether the response includes the whole property, and whether metadata (eg: Content-Length response header) matches the response.
BTW: does it happen under both serf and neon? (check 'svn --version' to see which you have; use --config-option to switch the active library)
