If you can provide a set of reproduction steps for this, I'd be happy to
write a patch to fix it.  We should do the right thing for non-force

I will say that overall, few people use the DAV-based protocol, since
it's significantly less efficient than the smart protocol, so it doesn't
surprise me that there may be bugs there.
