Sounds to me like a gedit bug. Incidentally, despite what the man page
says I can't even get ls -l | gedit to work on my machine.

However the following things work flawlessly:

svn cat README | cat > foo
svn cat README | vim -

Based on these fact, I'm inclined to think gedit has some bugs in their
support.
