It works fine here:

$ svnlook changed -r3 repos
_U trunk/alpha
$ svnlook propget repos foo /trunk/alpha
bar$

Note that the trailing '$' above is my shell prompt.
Maybe the prop value 'bar' does not end with a newline, and that
somehow affects the output in your environment?

Does it work as expected if you append a newline to the property
value? Or if you redirect the output to a file?
