svnsync "207 Multi-Status" failure with http access method and property "svn:"

From: Kylo Ginsberg <kylo_at_kylo.net>

Preparatory to setting up a proxy server, I'm trying to svnsync a
repository from 1.6.6 server to another 1.6.6 server (both x86_64
linux, one Fedora 7, one Fedora 12). Some user somehow managed to
create a property "svn:" on a file and the svnsync fails like so:

Transmitting file data .svnsync: At least one property change failed;
repository is unchanged
svnsync: PROPPATCH of
'/svn-proxy-sync/!svn/wrk/82bb957d-3816-45ed-a262-dadb63d80787/users/jwhiteman/python/cfg/CFG.xml':
207 Multi-Status (http://hood)

I'm able to reproduce (what I assume is) the same problem without svnsync:
1) create a repo, with both svn and http access methods
2) via svn access method create a file, set an "svn:" property, and
commit it, e.g.
 svn co svn://snow/test test
 cd test/
 echo foo > foo.txt
 svn add foo.txt
 svn ps svn: asdf foo.txt
 svn ci -m testing
3) now try to access it via http:
> svn pl http://snow/test/foo.txt
svn: PROPFIND of '/test/!svn/bc/1/foo.txt': 207 Multi-Status (http://snow)

So two questions here:
1) Is this a known issue? (I didn't see it in the bug db.) If not,
can I get a second nomination that this is a bug? (If someone can
point me in the right direction, and if this is likely to be a
somewhat surgical fix, I'd be happy to attempt a patch.)
2) Any recommendations on how to proceed? For the initial sync of
repos I can probably force the issue by svnsync'ing via the svn access
method, but I don't think this will work once I set up write-through
proxying.

Thanks!
Kylo
