At least I don't have more info about it except for this:
I use Gentoo Linux and the git ebuild (I have the distribution package
installed, but use the self-compiled git) says

    "Per Gentoo bugs #223747, #238586, when subversion is built"
    "with USE=dso, there may be weird crashes in git-svn. You"
    "have been warned."

I have subversion compiled with dso (Enable runtime module search), it's
enabled per default. And since it worked, I didn't change it. But it
would be interesting to see, if this error has something to do with it.
Maybe I'll try it out.
