svn:mergeinfo questionable behavior

I am encountering some.. 'strange' behavior, with merging branches.
 At some point, a given file in one of my repositories had a
svn:mergeinfo property set on the file. Let's call it foo.c.

  So, in trunk, I have a *self referencing* svn:mergeinfo property.
Looking at this files mergeinfo:

/trunk/foo.c:1-5

  Why would a file have a mergeinfo property refering to *itself*.
It's illogical. Are my developers doing something wrong? It gets
*REALLY* out of wack once I branch trunk, which brings these
properties over, and then rebase back to trunk, leading to conflicts
in the mergeinfo due to the change in the already strange looking self
reference in the mergeinfo property.
