Yup your problem seems to be exactly PR 55397. As I described here:

If you don't want to upgrade httpd you can upgrade Subversion on the server to
1.7.x or newer and only use 1.7.x or newer clients (which you seem to already
be doing by using 1.8.x versions of TortoiseSVN).

I suspect there are no patched binaries for OpenIndiana. I'd suggest you
contact the OpenIndiana project about this.
