It is not, in fact, a bug. It is a limitation forced upon us by the
design of Subversion's revprops.

There is no way to determine that a revprop has changed without
manually checking all of them, which would be a performance nightmare.
 If you want revprops to be changed you need to use a
post-revprop-change hook script to record that changes occurred, and
then later use the copy-revprops command in svnsync to do the copying.
 There's really nothing else that can be done without deep rooted
changes to how svn stores its revprops.
