Once a files is in unicode (utf-16) format, Subversion will treat the
file as binary, not text. Those files then have a mime-type of
'application/octet-stream'. As long as that's the case, Subversion won't
blame the file.
You have to manually change the mime-type of the file (i.e., edit the
svn:mime-type property) and change it to e.g., 'text/txt' or remove the
property).
Then you'll be able to blame the file again, but you should know that
during a conversion, each line in the file is touched so you won't get
really a useful blame out of it anyway.
