Too bad that we do this normalizing in libsvn_wc, so it doesn't work for svnmucc in 1.7 and 1.8 where svnmucc is not linked against libsvn_client nor libsvn_wc, while it is linked to setargv.obj...

This case should be fixed on trunk though, where we do normalize the properties by using the wc property validation api from the mtcc api.

I think we even use(d?) svnmucc to explicitly introduce invalid property values in the repository for our python test suite.
