I don't think it'll make it into 1.2.

This can be done by manually setting svn:owner, svn:group and svn:unix-mode to
anything (eg "yes") - it will be committed with the current values.
I'm preparing to get my dir-auto-props into the meta-data-versioning-branch;
then you can in your configuration file define automatic properties for
directories, too, and every add/import will send the right values into the
repository.

As the values are changed on a commit, a change of the file (or at least of
properties) is needed.
Try
 svn ps svn:owner $RANDOM path/to/file
The next commit should put the correct values in the repository.
