Ok, that allows me to set it to "", but I get the warning of:
  svn: warning: To turn off the svn:special property, use 'svn propdel';
  setting the property to '' will not turn it off.

And I still can't check it out into a working copy to remove it, and
'svn propdel' complains about a missing base revision, just like 'svn
propset'.
