Yes, this is a bug.
The function filter_unwanted_props() in libsvn_wc/wc_db.c seems filters out
the cached global-ignores prop because the property names it compares are
different (one is qualified with "svn:" and the other isn't), even though
they should be the same:
10240 if (strcmp(ipropname, propname) != 0)
(gdb) p ipropname
$5 = 0x21281cfda20 "global-ignores"
(gdb) p propname
$6 = 0x211f750bba6 "svn:global-ignores"
I'm not sure off-hand how to fix this.
I've filed http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4515
Thanks for your report.
