Thank you, Mark. While examining this, I remembered that one
subdirectory of the root had been switched from the branch (where I'm
working) to the trunk, and I'd forgotten to switch back once the trunk
changes behind that switch had been merged to the branch.

I reverted, switched that directory back, and re-merged, and got the
expected results of no property changes except the root and the one
oddball file.
