The difference is that 'svn ls' is really a repository operation, working on
URLS (or part of urls). On URLs we always use the url / platform independent
'/' separator.

'svn propget' usually works on local paths, in which case we use the local
path (or technically 'dirent') separator, which is a '\' on Windows.

This behavior was explicitly implemented this way years ago.

The standard 'svn' clients will all use the same formatting as they share
the same code here. (TortoiseSVN compiles the standard 'svn' sourcecode for
their svn binary)
The formatting is really part of the client as internally Subversion always
uses '/', so any other client than 'svn' may use different formatting, but I
think you can expect 'svn' to keep using the existing formats.
