The hypothesis stated here is that serf isn't closing its connections correctly when they are closed by the server, on Windows. While I don't think anything is wrong with that part of the serf code, serf testing is mostly done by using short-lived processes so if there's an issue it might not be very visible.

That's not what that mail suggests. It talks about an old bug where svn+serf can't authenticate to a server using the Digest authentication scheme when that server is configured with KeepAlive off. That issue was a) solved a long time ago, and b) as others have said is unrelated to what you're seeing.
