It tries to create them because of recursive copies in the Makefile;
some .svn directories are subdirectories of directories that are being
copied.

Sure.  See below.

The build process creates the .svn directories.
And when it tries to create the same .svn directory twice, it balks
because of the permissions of the contents.

Calling make will do the following (as near as I can tell):
  make noweb
  make litcmds
(These are the prerequisites for "make all".)
"make litcmds" has the line

  cp -pr ${SRC}/scripts/* ${MNT}/${SYS}/bin

After litcmds, "make all" will turn Makefile.pamphlet into a
Makefile.linux, which will then be used.  "make all" in
Makefile.pamphlet will first "make rootdirs", which contains the line

  cp -pr ${SRC}/scripts/* ${MNT}/${SYS}/bin

This will attempt to overwrite files previously copied to
.../bin/tex/.svn, which causes the error.
Without the .svn contents, the permissions of the files probably allow
overwriting, so no error.  I don't know why that command appears
twice; perhaps with no error, the duplication was hidden.

At the end is the output of "make".  (I added some "echo"s to
Makefile and Makefile.pamphlet so I could follow what was happening.)
