The substitution is done by the subversion library, not by
TortoiseSVN. You should try the same operations using the official
subversion command line client to confirm this, then report the
problem on the subversion mailing list.

I'm assuming you have already checked the svn:keywords property to
ensure that $Date$ is listed for update (and note that it is
case-sensitive).
