Versioned properties, both Subversion's reserved properties and custom user properties, can be interpreted as inheritable, but otherwise function as they always have in terms of repository storage, setting properties, valid property names and values, etc.. What is proposed here is a new way of looking at the familiar versioned property. The only differentiation that is important as far as the design is this: Is a property value inherited or explicit? A path may have property 'PropName' explicitly set on it or property values may be inherited by a child path from some parent path(s) which also have 'PropName' explicitly set on them.

So, technically those properties ARE inherited... they just don't take effect, because svn:ignore has to be EXPLICIT not inherited for it to be authoritative.
ah, yes. You're right.
Running:
svn proplist . --show-inherited-props
will also list the svn:ignore property.
