You're misdiagnosing the problem. I can tell you exactly what's going
on, and it has nothing to do with 'propset' or 'svn st -u'. :-)

There are two limitations to mixed-revision working copies, as described
at the end of chapter 2 in the book:

1. you can't delete a file or dir which isn't the latest version.

2. you can't commit a change to a directory (i.e. a propchange) unless
the working rev of the directory == HEAD.

That's why you're seeing the out-of-date error. Just 'svn up' so that
your directory's working-rev == HEAD first, and the commit will succeed.
