If svn is complaining about that, I'd call it a bug. The syntax defined
in RFC 1521 clearly says

    token := 1*<any (ASCII) CHAR except SPACE, CTLs,
                  or tspecials>

There's nothing about "must start and end with an alphanumeric character".

Sure, you could probably find something that works for whatever you
want to do, and also works with svn. But you should be able to use
"text/x-c++" without svn complaining. I suggest reporting this as a
bug.
