The code in question is:

	my $svnsync;
	# see if we have it in our config, first:
	eval {
		my $section = "svn-remote.$self->{repo_id}";
		$svnsync = {
		  url => tmp_config('--get', "$section.svnsync-url"),
		  uuid => tmp_config('--get', "$section.svnsync-uuid"),
		}
	};

I think the "Odd number" is an indication that one of the
tmp_config() calls is returning an even number of elements (so
the hash whose ref will be stored in $svnsync ends up having an
odd number of elements), and that is why I initially asked you
about "more than one" svnsync-url.  0 is also an even number,
and it could be that it is not finding any.

How about doing something ugly like this _just for diagnosis_?

	my $svnsync;
	# see if we have it in our config, first:
	eval {
		my $section = "svn-remote.$self->{repo_id}";
		my @u = tmp_config('--get', "$section.svnsync-url");
		my @v = tmp_config('--get', "$section.svnsync-uuid");
		if (@u != 1 || @v != 1) {
                	print STDERR "Oops: <$section> $#u <@u> $#v <@v>\n";
		}
		$svnsync = {
		  url => @u,
		  uuid => @v,
		}
	};
