That's right. You get the error because we don't allow setting
svn:eol-style on a binary file.

It's not Subversion's place to decide whether a nominaly binary file can
contain keywords or not. It's different with svn:eol-style because a
binary format by implication does not contain text lines.

Of course, you could argue that the auto-props pattern should be ignored
if svn can't process all its members.
