I searched the Subversion code for the error message. From what I can
see in the code, this would have to happen every time for a specific
file. Can you confirm that?

When you blame, try changing the default blame options to *not* ignore
eols and whitespaces. In that case, the blame should succeeed.

If you can reproduce the issue with the same file every time (and
ignoring whitespaces/eols), you should report this on the Subversion
mailing list.
