Bug in adding a binary file external

Hello,

Recently we have discovered a strange behavior when
adding an svn:external property which contains a binary file:

^/A/file.mp3 m.mp3

That was the value of the svn:externals property. Committing the propset
wasn't a problem. But then, if you make an update in the same or any
other working copy, instead of a regular external add you are notified
of a conflict on the binary file:

alex_at_UFO:~/workspace/tmp/reppo-wc2$
/home/alex/workspace/svn_1.6.1/subversion/svn/svn up
  U A/B

Fetching external item into 'A/B/m.mp3'
Conflict discovered in 'A/B/m.mp3'.
Select: (p) postpone,
         (mf) mine-full, (tf) theirs-full,
         (s) show all options: p
CU A/B/m.mp3
Updated external to revision 1003.
Summary of conflicts in external item:
   Text conflicts: 1

Updated to revision 1003.

The other working copy was clean, contained no changes or obstructed files.
