Do I understand correctly that you propose that Subversion
applies the wrong mime-type settings to your text files,
using the mime-type setting of unrelated binary files for text files?

Have you tested what happens when you set the mime-type on text files
to 'text/plain' explicitly? It would be interesting to see if this
fixes the problem.
