Well, on closer examination it appears to be the desired behaviour.
Rev 3746 explains that it is desirable to distinguish ignored files
from unversioned files even when --no-ignore is passed. As I now
recall it took several emails for Jon to explain to me exactly what
his patch did, and I guess I never really understood why he wanted it
since it still looks like a bug to me.

Perhaps we should have another (!) svn_wc_status_kind such as
svn_wc_status_ignored and get 'svn status' to display 'I' for such
files.
