I have some ideas for that, if you'll hear me out.

There's some obvious 'defaults' that you might use:

EXE, PDB, LIB, DLL, etc....

You can add a new option in the TSVN settings dialog that serves as an
inclusive list of files to scan for conflict resolution during a resolve
operation. By inclusive list I mean that by default, most items are included
in the scan except for those specified explicitly in the filter. In the
example above, those extensions would NOT be scanned. The user can also add
more, or remove the defaults.

Does Subversion add the markers to binary files as well? Or does it somehow
determine what is text and only insert them into those kinds of files?

Anyway, the option I'm suggesting is relatively easy to add. Just add an
edit control and determine a delimiter, like semi-colon, to separate
extensions:

EXE;PDB;LIB;DLL;

This will give you all the information you need to skip scanning those types
of files during the progress dialog of a "Resolved.." operation.
