I believe this is due to a bug in SWIG which was fixed upstream in 2.0.7:

2012-05-22: szager
            [python] Disambiguate SWIG_From_unsigned_SS_int and SWIG_From_unsigned_SS_long.

This was r13106 in SWIG's SVN repo (now migrated to git, but I don't have
the corresponding git commit hash to hand).

Testing already has SWIG 2.0.7, so rebuilding python-subversion should fix
this if SWIG is run during the build.
