This depends on the choices taken by implementors of the
operating system's DNS resolver. It has nothing to do
with either SVN or APR (unless APR's DNS API wrappers
change the results returned from the system for some
reason, but I'd doubt it was doing that).

I don't know, and I don't have time to find out.
You could ask this question to the APR project: https://apr.apache.org

Most servers use Apache HTTPD which supports dual-stack operation.
This problem is specific to server deployments using the svn://
repository access method on IPv6-enabled servers.
