Perhaps the line endings of the svn:externals property of that
directory are inconsistent? Perhaps this is another case of this issue:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2459

Try "svn propedit svn:externals $URL" and check in your editor if the
line endings are inconsistent, and/or make them consistent.

If that turns out to be the problem, please add a note to the above
bug report, to show that it affects more than just the svn:log
property which is what the bug report is thus far about.
