Why not? No one should be setting svn:mergeinfo as a txnprop (or
revprop). (and if they do, they shouldn't use the svn:* namespace)

Given that we don't have any SVN_PROP_* whose semantics differ when it's
set as a revprop v. when it's set as a nodeprop, I'm not sure what this
would gain; I'm ±0.

Unless, perhaps, you want to add verification that svn:mergeinfo isn't
set as a revprop and svn:log isn't set as a nodeprop? Feel free to do
so, but then I suggest you'll also teach svnsync et al to strip those
(ill-set) properties to avoid breaking any repositories out there that
do have svn:mergeinfo revprops and svn:log nodeprops.
