Yup. Currently, svnmerge.py does not merge metadata for blocked
properties correctly. For instance:
1. Block r10 from merging from branchA to branchB
2. Block r20 from merging from branchA to branchC
3. Merge changes from branchB to branchC

In this case, the merge in (3) does not merge the blocked properties
correctly due to a property conflict.

Cheers,

David
