Let's simplify this a bit. If you ran this command:

svn add foo.htm

Then the file would be added even though *.htm matches the ignore pattern.
It does this because you explicitly said to add the file.

When you run svn add *, the * is not passed into Subversion, where it then
figures out the files. Instead, the command shell expands the * and passes
the resolved value to the command. So the net effect is that the command
that actually gets run is this:

svn add bar.html CVS foo.htm

In which case, the expected behavior would be for all of the items to be
added.
