This is the expected behaviour.

Right. It's even written in full words in the doc (which I must have
read it a few thousand times yesterday, so I can tell you !-)

For you want to do, you must either set the svn:ignore prop in all and
every directory (yuck) or set it as a global ignore in your conf

In your case, the second option is obviously the most appropriate.
