UPDATE
After reading the http-dev thread about this issue, archived at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/apache/dev/375633 , it seems this issue is caused by a bug in the client-side OpenSSL library in regards to how SSL Tickets / IDs are handled, which explains why the error does not occur immediately, but takes a few seconds to minutes. This resolution was determined on Nov 2, three days before OpenSSL 0.9.8l came out. The thread does not explicitly state if/when the fix was applied to OpenSSL, but I think it's something we can anticipate being fixed in 0.9.8m, which I believe is covered by this entry in the m-beta changelog:
*) Fixes to stateless session
resumption handling. Use initial_ctx
when
issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when
attempting
stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server
hello
(several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
the handshake.

I'm experiencing similar issues on Apache-2.2.14 on Gentoo. For reference, here's my USE flags:

This occurs with any combination of SSLProtocol with TLSv1
included
If I adjust my SSLProtocol
to remove TLSv1
, I get a new error:
svn: PUT of '/!svn/wrk/0b9f5a96-15aa-11df-ad6a-0f71b873281b/project/trunk/path/btn_Cancel.gif': SSL handshake failed: SSL error: bad decompression (https://svn.mudbugmedia.com)
This occurs at approximately the same time that I'd encounter the "parse tlsext" error instead.
