Yes, that was the reason. What puzzled me was that SVN_SSH was set in my case, and it pointed to the correct place. The problem, as I found out, was that SVN on Windows needs the value of SVN_SSH to use Unix-style forward slashes. (By contrast, Git wants backslashes. Go figure.) Thanks for your help.
