svn prop* syntax weirdness

"svn help pg" lists :

usage: 1. propget PROPNAME [WC_TARGETS]
       2. propget PROPNAME -r REV [URL]

First usage prints versioned prop in working copy.
Second usage prints unversioned remote prop on repos revision.

(similar notes for other prop* commands.)
(the second usage is not listed in svn(1).)

But I've not found a way to get the versioned property of a file "foo"
at a specified revision. To do this, I need to do :
        svn info foo | grep Revision: | awk '{print $2}' > /tmp/r
        svn up foo -r1
        svn pl foo
        svn up foo -r `cat /tmp/r`
while I wanted to do
        svn pl foo -r1 # get the property list that foo had at rev #1

Currently this latest command returns the (unversioned) property list for
revision #1 for the repository to which the "foo" wc-path refers.

This is a problem with the syntax of the prop* commands, but
I'm not sure how to solve it. (That also why I'm not submitting
a patch to the svn.1 manpage for now.)
