I believe the problem is an svn:special file that contains a '\n'
character:

  svn cat https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/commons/dbcp/binaries/HEADER.html@4588 | od -c
  0000000 l i n k . . / H E A D E R . h
  0000020 t m l \r \n
  0000026

I can reproduce on Linux:

  svnadmin create repo
  printf "link foo\n" > x.x
  svnmucc -mm -U file://`pwd`/repo put x.x f propset svn:special '*' f

Now

  svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
  svn st wc
  M wc/f

The reason is that create_special_file_from_stream() reads just the
first line of the file to define the symlink while
svn_wc__internal_file_modified_p() compares against the whole file.
