(no author) on revision causes IllegalArgumentException in Resource History view

I had my repository set up without authentication (I've turned it on
since), and when I committed changes in Eclipse, they show up in the svn
log like this:

rev 3185: (no author) | 2003-07-09 10:59:31 -0600 (Wed, 09 Jul 2003) |
1 line

This lack of an author causes the Resource History to choke with the
errors below showing up in the Error Log. (I have since turned on
authentication in httpd, but this bug should be fixed.)

Should I enter this as a defect myself?

Also, any idea when a Project->Properties SVN page/entry/whatever, with
info on what the project is connected to, will be implemented?
