This is work towards issue 2220, but does not resolve the whole issue.

OK, though I would describe the change as "Don't allow deletion of a
non-existent property unless 'skip_checks' is true."

Reason: to preserve the current UI behaviour. I suggest: "Pass TRUE for the
skip_checks parameter of svn_client_propset2() to preserve the current UI
behaviour."

The test is related to a UI change which we have not yet agreed to make. I
suggest you make the API change and the UI change in two separate patches.

Please don't compare boolean values with FALSE or TRUE explicitly. These are
all equivalent, so use the first (simplest) one:

   if (! skip_checks)
   if (skip_checks == FALSE)
   if (skip_checks != TRUE)
   if (! (skip_checks == TRUE))
   if ((skip_checks != TRUE) == TRUE)
   if ((skip_checks == TRUE) == FALSE)
   if (((skip_checks != TRUE) == TRUE) == TRUE)
   ...

I don't mind pointers being compared explicitly with NULL, though "if (!
value)" is just as good.

As I said when you posted your first version, SVN_ERR_PROPERTY_NOT_FOUND would
be more appropriate. Would it not?

Does the line you are checking appear at index 1 in both maintainer-mode and
user-mode builds (i.e. with and without the extra error messages)?
