No idea.

I did confirm the files are read-only.
I'm not using sudo, or any special account.

I just triple checked - running just the perl command seems to change
the files without complaint.
cd .svn/text-base/
perl -pi -e 's/string1/string2/' *

All files changed, despite being read-only.

I thought it might be something funky with OSX, but the same thing
occurs on my Linux system as well.

It seems perl ignores read-only. Frustrating. I'll have to find a new
command for global updates.

In any case, is there any hope of getting a variation of the cleanup
command that refreshes the text-base files? It's a huge pain dealing
with these broken WC's, and the only way to fix it is to do a fresh
checkout and risk losing all the local changes.
