It sounds like it may just be the svn:mergeinfo property being
updated. Run svn diff on your WC and see what it reports for those
items.

Once an item acquires an svn:mergeinfo property every merge will
update that property to reflect the revisions that were merged, even
if the merge did not update those items specifically.
