I tested this on trunk, and get the same conflict with a property named 'p' and value changing from empty to 'v'. It is not caused by special handling of the value '*'.

The bug seems to be that 'svn patch' fails to apply any patch of this form, that tries to change a property value from empty to non-empty.
