In our series of bleeding obvious questions: you did check out to a new
working copy, right? It would be hard to do otherwise.

I doubt there's any useful similarity. It's just that any remote-to-WC
copy of a file or folder adds useless mergeinfo. So not dug up from long
gone history, and there's nothing mysterious about it, just a simple
reproducible bug. But it may inspire you to find a way out, so here is
how to reproduce it using bash:

svnadmin create r
mkdir i i/trunk
echo hello world >i/trunk/file
svn import i/trunk file:///$PWD/r/trunk -m imported
svn copy file:///$PWD/r/{trunk,knurt} -m branched
svn co file:///$PWD//r/trunk w
svn merge file:///$PWD//r/knurt w
svn ci w -m merged
svn up w
svn cp w/file w/wc_copy
svn cp file:///$PWD/r/trunk/file w/remote_copy
svn propget svn:mergeinfo w -R
