Re-merge a change from own history - corrupts svn:mergeinfo

The following scenarios run on a Subversion trunk_at_30056 WC result in wrong or
corrupt text in the svn:mergeinfo property.

Scenario 1: merge a single change from the history of a particular file;
request no merge-tracking; request no textual change to be made if it
conflicts. (This change was made in 26169, amended in 26178, reverted in 26181,
and more recent changes to the file conflict with the re-application of the
original change.)

[[[
$ svn propget svn:mergeinfo subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py

$ svn merge --ignore-ancestry --accept=mine-full -c26169
subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py
--- Merging r26169 into 'subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py':
U subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py

$ svn propget svn:mergeinfo subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py
mergeinfo:26169
]]]

Scenario 2: same, but request two changes at once.

[[[
$ svn propget svn:mergeinfo subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py

$ svn merge --ignore-ancestry --accept=mine-full -c26169,26178
subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py
--- Merging r26169 into 'subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py':
U subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py
--- Merging r26178 into 'subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py':
U subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py

$ svn propget svn:mergeinfo subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py
<?\173:26178
mergeinfo:26169
]]]

Problems:

   * svn:mergeinfo is touched despite the "--ignore-ancestry" option which I
though was supposed to suppress tracking.

   * svn:mergeinfo gets the wrong source path: "mergeinfo" instead of
"/trunk/subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py".

   * svn:mergeinfo gets corrupted (non-UTF8) text in it in the second scenario.

The last two problems may just be follow-on symptoms of the first.
