I'm not sure it's appropriate for the documentation to go into
technical implementation details.

At the moment, the documentation says: "set svn:eol-style, and then
svn will magically do the Right Thing." In this case, you've set
svn:eol-style erroneously, and now the magical Right Thing is causing
behaviors you didn't expect. There's no way to explain exactly
*what* to expect in this situation, without going into confusing
implementation details. Perhaps the documentation might should
simply warn? Something like:

"Once you put Subversion in charge of managing line-endings, any
changes you make to line endings will be potentially lost or unnoticed."
