Ah, that I can understand. I started the entire discussion
in order to get permission to post a bug report, and to find
out whether a patch would be acceptable.

So what about the properties that specify alternative
names? Multiple designs for that are possible:
1. support svn:filename.<filesystem>; the challenge is to
find out what the filesystem is (e.g. use statfs(2)
to find out).
2. support svn:filename.<operating system>; the challenge
is to allow significant grouping of operating system
names. However, supporting just the common cases
(win32, posix) might be enough.
3. support svn:filename.<tag>, and support a wc configuration
option filename-tag. Then, Windows users could specify
filename-tag=win32, and the repository would specify
svn:filename.win32.
