This is a regression introduced in 1.8. In 1.7 libsvn_ra_neon handled
the certificate decryption and would save a working passphrase. In 1.8
libsvn_ra_serf no longer handles the certificate decryption directly, it
now happens in serf, and there is no code for Subversion to save the
passphrase.

I've raised http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4509
