I had the same issue, and I tried the regedit solution.

In my case the Default Host Name was not to blame, but the regedit showed me a space in the saved session name (%20).

Putty does not care about the session name when you open a connection from there, hence there was no error when connecting from Putty. But the session name is important in your svn+ssh:// url!

In my case the Putty session name was " server", and when I did a svn checkout I used "svn+ssh://server/srv/svn/repo", hence the error.
