comes with eol-style native
  (i like to stick with defaults, to ease setting up systems and because
subversion-maintainers
  are more knowledgable than me)

setting svn:mime-type to 'application/octet-stream' shouldn't be necessary
if
http://help.collab.net/index.jsp?topic=/faq/svnbinary.html

  Currently, Subversion only looks at the first 1024 bytes of the file; if
any of the bytes are zero,
  or if more than 15 percent are not ASCII printing characters, then
Subversion calls the file binary.

is correct. by this utf-16 will always be binary.
mine was a csv-file, but the problem might be that it was imported from a
CVS-repo
