OK, I have been debugging this and I think I know the cause. I am
adding Eugene to the thread because he made this change in 1.4.3.

Subclipse used to declare the .project file as a metadata file. This
caused our SVNTeamProviderType#metaFilesDetected method to be called
when a project was created. This allowed us to discover this
situation and auto-share the project.

Eugene removed this from our plugin.xml in 1.4.3 because it was
preventing some CVS import behavior to happen.

See: http://subclipse.tigris.org/source/browse/subclipse/?rev=3943&view=rev

So it seems like we need someone to step up with the right way to add
this back so that we do not interfere with CVS.
