OK, I did several things. First, I downgraded subversion to 1.6.12 and everything worked. Then I re-ran the installer and re-installed the base cygwin package, which should have upgraded the DLL. It did not, It was still at 1.7.5. I'm using setup 2.721, http://mirrors.kernel.org for the site, the installer says the package installed is 1.7.7-1. I then manually deleted the cygwin1.dll and ran setup.exe again. THIS time it upgraded the DLL. The DLL's don't have any weird permission, so I don't know why it didn't upgrade. I did have sshd running, and setup threw a warning that I'd need to reboot. Maybe something related to that? Anyway, at this point, I now appear to be able to use subversion without filename mangling. I'm just curious why multiple installs of the cygwin base didn't update the cygwin1.dll.
