Yes, that's the problem, and I fear the new format doesn't address this.

If the multistatus/response format is re-used for a REPORT (basically a good
thing), it must not break the existing semantics, in particular:

- the properties reported must actually be the properties of the resource
identified by the reported URI (DAV:href) and
- the properties reported actually must be properties (!).

If this is not the case, the response seems to indicate that there's a
DAV:labeled-version-report property, which isn't the case.

So how about properly extending the response element, for instance:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  <D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:">

    <D:response>
      <D:href>http://www.webdav.org/folder/</D:href>
      <D:labeled-version-report>
        <D:href>http://repo.webdav.org/his/23/ver/V5</D:href>
        <D:propstat>
          <D:prop>
            <D:version-name>V5</D:version-name>
          </D:prop>
          <D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status>
        </Dpropstat>
      </D:labeled-version-report>
      <D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status>
    </D:response>

   <D:response>
      <D:href>http://www.webdav.org/folder/foo.html</D:href>
      <D:labeled-version-report>
        <D:href>http://repo.webdav.org/his/84/ver/V8</D:href>
          <D:propstat>
            <D:prop>
              <D:version-name>V8</D:version-name>
          </D:prop>
          <D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status>
        </D:propstat>
      </D:labeled-version-report>
      <D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status>
    </D:response>

  </D:multistatus>
