"Well don't do that then!"
You have to manually set the svn:keywords property on files you want
it for, so Subversion doesn't try to second-guess whether you *really*
want keyword expansion. Why can't there be a legitimate reason for
keyword expansion in a binary file? Maybe it's a particularly
resilient binary format.
I don't consider this a bug. Is the behavior causing any problems at
your site? If so, could you elaborate further?
