spurious mergeinfo property created on copy?

I asked about this behavior in IRC, and no-one's quite sure if this is
a bug or not:

$ svn cp README README2
A README2

$ svn pl -v README2
Properties on 'README2':
  svn:keywords : LastChangedDate
  svn:mergeinfo :
  svn:eol-style : native

Notice that the copy created an (empty) svn:mergeinfo property. Is
this expected?

(I ran into this in one of my new tests -- it wasn't expecting the
extra property, and neither was I!)
