This is *not* a bug. Subversion is working as designed.
It has always been the policy on Subversion to have safe defaults, but
not to restrict flexibility. Setting svn:keywords on "binary" files is a
valid use case, because "binary" and "fixed-length records" are not
synonyms. As far as Subversion is concerned, "binary" only means
non-mergeable, it doesn't mean you shouldn't expand keywords. That's one
of the reasons we have a separate svn:keywords property.
