Should svn:eol-style=native ignore new line characters in quotes

We have the svn:eol-style property set to native for UNIX shell scripts and
have come across an issue where a '^M' character in a sed statement throws a
Inconsistent line ending style error.

For example sed 's/^M//g:/\$\$END/d;/^[].....'

Shouldn't the functionally of the svn:eol-style code ignore new line
characters that are in single or double quotes, since the are not new line
characters for that file?

Has anyone else ran into this issue, if so what are some of the workarounds?

Thanks.
