I just tried that and I'm only able to reproduce it if the $CVSROOT/www directory is read-only. In this case it fails for me in 1.5.10 *and* in 1.5.9, so I don't see a difference... except when logged in via OpenSSH using public key authentication. In that case I'm able to checkout the directory under 1.5.9 but not under 1.5.10. AFAICS, the behaviour under 1.5.10 is "right"(tm). Does the description match your situation?
