Some searches again:

[ral@bigdaddy test1]$ LANG=C svn ls file://`pwd`/bla@bla
svn: E205000: Try 'svn help' for more info
svn: E205000: Syntax error parsing peg revision 'bla'
[ral@bigdaddy test1]$ LANG=C svn ls file://`pwd`/bla\@bla
svn: E205000: Try 'svn help' for more info                                                                                                                                                                             
svn: E205000: Syntax error parsing peg revision 'bla'     

Means: Using the @ inside subversion for folder pathes is some kind of forbidden. Looks that some maintainer removed the block where kdesvn converted the @ to a html entity which now results in a crash from within svn library itself. Removing this code means, kdesvn don't crash. But subversion will NEVER, and that means NEVER, display content of such files or folders.

@ is simply used for the revision parameter so don't use it for entries.
