I noticed this occurs as well if you change e.g. a property on a binary
file. In my case the pdf file is compared with itself, since only a
property has changed. There is no soft link here. And I suppose this
would also happen if the file really were changed. So Subclipse should
honor the mime-type property here and not try to do a text compare.
The command line acts sensibly by simply giving:
> svn diff
Property changes on: kruisend-tiger.pdf

I suppose Subclipse could just show that text in an anonymous editor
instead of opening a compare editor.
