Strange behaviour with propdel PROPNAME --revprop -r REV [TARGET]

Using subversion 1.5.4, I am able to run the following command without
any reported error against a remote repository.

>svn propdel svn:author --revprop -r 1
https://svnserver/dev/pre_revprop_change_tests-2
>property 'svn:author' deleted from repository revision 1

However despite the command apparently returning success the property is
still present

>svn pget --revprop -r 1 svn:author
https://svnserver/dev/pre_revprop_change_tests-2
>cusdenia

I must admit I expected the first command to fail, as there is no
pre_revprop_change hook on the repo. Am I doing anything wrong or is
this a known issue?

NB: I got the same result using Subversion 1.4.3 and with a simple
pre_revprop_change hook that returns 1.

Cheers
