Will update the release notes.

That's a misrepresentation of what is going on.
Running svnadmin setrevprop and svnadmin dump
concurrently, has never had a well-defined behavior.
I.e. the propset may or may not have shown up in
the dump (basically a race condition). The same
thing is true for 1.8 and any combination of 1.8 and
older tools.
However, if you have a long-running process like
a server, that race condition extends now extends
over its whole lifetime. I.e. once a revprop got read,
any change to its value by a pre-1.8 tool may never
get detected.
