The working copy code assumed (in two places) that added files have no
base props, so if you copy a file and empty out the properties, the code
doesn't think there have been any property changes. Fixed in r7968,
which will make it into svn 0.35.

With this bug fixed, the properties should stay consistent between
client and repository, but keywords won't be de-substituted when you
remove (or subtract entries from) svn:keywords. I don't know how
difficult that would be; if we did that, we'd also want to expand
keywords when we add entries to svn:keywords, and I don't know if that's
even meaningful for an added-but-not-yet-committed file.

Incidentally, ou can do "svn pl URL" to authoritatively find out the
repository's idea of what properties a file has. (You appeared to use
more indirect methods, such as svnadmin dump or a second working copy.)
