I suppose this is to avoid problems with EOL conversion modifying binary
files, in which case the error should occur in both cases. Also it
should occur when the user sets svn:keywords and a binary mime-type.

You can still set the properties: use "svn ps --force" to tell
Subversion you know what you are doing.
