This is not a problem on the server. As I wrote in my original e-mail, there is no network traffic at all between the client and server in the failure case.
I have confirmed this by reproducing the problem when the server has its network cable unplugged. I know what the message is supposed to mean, but the client is reporting the wrong error. After some further experimentation, I have come to the conclusion that it is treating the hostname “svn” specially. The host has another hostname in DNS and I can correctly access the server using that name.
