It's impossible for me to say without detailed inspection of your
repository. Older versions of svn 1.5 had a bug where they would create
mergeinfo unnecessarily in certain move operations, so perhaps the
mergeinfo was created that way.

If you are 100% certain that file_2 and file_3 don't need the mergeinfo
changes they are receiving, you can delete the svn:mergeinfo property.
Later merges will then not try to keep ther mergeinfo up-to-date for
those files.
