I think with the new inheritable properties TSVN would be able to modify its behavior to not need the property on every folder. Perhaps they will create a change request for this.
However, when you add the folder, you can edit the properties before you commit it. Is the property causing you an issue for some reason? What is the use case for it not being there? I'm sure the devs would want to know that before making such a low level change.
