"inconsistent newlines" error during import

I have set up my $HOME/.subversion/config like this

  [miscellany]
  enable-auto-props = yes

  [auto-props]
  * = svn:eol-style=native

according to the suggestion at
<http://dev.zope.org/Subversion/SubversionConfigurationForLineEndings>.

When I try to import the code from the WordPress project with that
config in effect I get a fatal error like this:

    svn: File '/usr/local/src/wordpress/1.2.1/wp-comments-post.php'
    has inconsistent newlines

If I temporarily disable auto-props then I'm able to do the import.
If I then re-enable auto-props and checkout the code, it's identical
to the original code (input to import).

Assuming a config as above, here's a test case that shows the problem:

        echo -e "foo\r\r" > foo.txt
        svn import foo.txt file:///var/tmp/svntest/junk

With subversion 1.1.1 this gives the "inconsistent newlines" error.
Note that foo.txt ends with two CRs (\r) and one NL (\n) -- a weird
line-ending for sure, but one that appears in some real-world source
files.

So, am I OK to just temporarily disable auto-props when I hit that
error during an import? Or is this just deferring some problem
that'll bite me later? I don't understand why the
svn:eol-style=native property affects import anyway, as it seems like
it should affect only how files are checked out, not how they are
stored in the repository.
