This shouldn't happen. If it does, it is a Subversion regression, it
definitely used to work.

Typical problem there: "What is this mergeinfo? I didn't change it! I'm
not committing it." Another problem is not committing the root folder to
begin with but just the subfolder where the actual changes happen.
There is one way to determine this: If you look at the history of the
repository, you will be able to find out if the changed mergeinfo was
actually committed. My guess is that it wasn't committed.
Also, make sure your users are aware of the existance of this mergeinfo
and that they always merge with the root folder and also commit that
root folder.
Good luck!
