I think I have figured out that is wrong. It is a bug in initialization of SVN database. Before, there was only one [general] section in the conf/svnserve.conf file and the procedure of initialization apparently copied a template and added the following string to the end of file:

anon-access = write
but now there are two sections: [general] and [sasl]

as result "anon-access = write" is added to the wrong section, and there is no anonymous access anymore. So, the test fails.
