Thanks for sharing this! A similar (but more obscure) error message due to the same underlying problem is documented in the FAQ: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#ssl-error-336032856 I suppose we should add your error message to that FAQ entry, too. Would you be able to provide a patch against https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/site/publish/faq.html that makes this change?
