I can confirm this happens with file:// and svn://, too.

It could be we're confusing repository capabilities vs. client
capabilities somewhere in the code. In any case, the documentation (and
the implementation) clearly states we should be seeing client
capabilities here, so it looks like a bug at first glance.

That would be the "inherited-props" capability. How these inherited
properties are interpreted (e.g., as in the case of svn:auto-props) is a
client-side decision; the server isn't consulted. A custom-built client
might announce the inherited-props capability but not actually interpret
auto-props, for example.
