Yes, and this is expected, documented [1] and will not change. Quoting:
[[[
Note: Subversion does not require that commit transaction properties (such as the revision log message) be attached to the transaction as part of its initialization. As such, some clients will still not provide that information to the server until after the start-commit hook has been invoked. Here is a list of such clients we are aware of:

    Pre-1.8 clients communicating via HTTP
    Clients communicating via HTTP when mod_dav_svn's "SVNAdvertiseV2Protocol" option has been set to "off"

Administrators should consider modularizing the tests that their hooks perform on transaction properties, invoke those tests from both the start-commit and pre-commit hook scripts."
]]]

You will need to run the same hook again as pre-commit.
