I agree with your question, actually. Note the svn_stream_write() docs:
722 * The read and write handlers accept length arguments via pointer.
723 * On entry to the handler, the pointed-to value should be the amount
724 * of data which can be read or the amount of data to write. When the
725 * handler returns, the value is reset to the amount of data actually
726 * read or written. Handlers are obliged to complete a read or write
727 * to the maximum extent possible; thus, a short read with no
728 * associated error implies the end of the input stream, and a short
^^^^^^^^^^^
729 * write should never occur without an associated error.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
