Bug (release blocker?): svn 1.5 eol-style:native on windows breaks version 1.4 wc

I am using TortoiseSVN 1.5 rc3 (based on svn 1.5-rc9) on Windows XP.

One of my collegues gets strange merge conflicts while using his svn
1.4 client after I checked in some changes. The files all have
svn:eol-style set to "native". The server is still running on svn
1.3.2
Analysis showed that svn 1.4 clients always stored the text file in LF
encoding regardless of the eol-style. The file in the wc itself is
correctly stored in CRLF style on Windows.

However, after commiting with my 1.5 client and updating with 1.4 on
the other machine, the files in the text-base were also stored in CRLF
style. When merging, this generates merge conflicts for the entiere
file because every line is different.

If this is problem is still present in the current RC, I'd say this
could be a release blocker since it breaks all the older clients
working copies....
