This discussion is specifically talking about when a 411 status is
returned, not a 413.

You talked about building subversion locally fixing the behavior, but
that wouldn't have changed the default value for the
http-chunked-requests configuration.

Yes, and later in that same document we have:

  Subversion 1.8.1 fixes this issue by detecting automatically whether
  chunked requests are supported at the set up of a session. This is
  done by issuing one additional request at the start of the session.

Subversion 1.8.10 is newer than 1.8.1 and therefore has the above
mentioned fix.

I'm not being defensive.  I'm trying to understand the actual problem,
since what you're describing is not related to the release notes you are
quoting.
