He's not talking about committing. He's talking about adding. He asked
for a bunch of things to be added, and only some of them got added.

You mean the "svn:eol-style" property set to the value "native". And
yes, he must have the "svn:eol-style" property set (though it doesn't
matter what value). As you say, Subversion doesn't care about line
endings unless you set "svn:eol-style". The fact that Subversion
printed the error message "Inconsistent line ending style" is clear
indication that line ending translation was requested by the user (but
could not be performed).

He already stated they were not:

He stated there was the "Inconsistent line ending style" message, but
the error message did not indicate that the add did not completely
succeed.

He's talking about "svn add", not "svn commit".
This sounds different from but perhaps related to issue 2713, which
was fixed; the fix will be in Subversion 1.7.0.

johnea could try building Subversion from trunk to see if the behavior
can still be reproduced.
