There’s either something wrong with your config, or with the Subversion code that checks for this nested condition. I haven’t run into the error before.

The portion of config you showed looks fine. Are there other SVNPath or SVNParentPath directives elsewhere in your config that overlap the one you showed?

What’s the DocumentRoot for the virtual host these directives occur in—is it any portion of /srv/svn/repos?
