The version I use: c:\...>svn --version svn, version 1.9.1 (r1698128) compiled Sep 1 2015, 19:50:43 on x86-microsoft-windows
This version is having the documented behaviour. I checked for an update now I've 1.9.3 installed. C:...>svn --version svn, version 1.9.3 (r1718519) compiled Dec 13 2015, 15:47:16 on x86-microsoft-windows svnversion behaves as expected in this version. Problem solved, thanks.

Output of 'svn --version --verbose' command would be useful. If I remember correctly some TortoiseSVN builds was compiled using static runtime and this caused some problems with stdout flushing. -- Ivan Zhakov
