This is interesting. It looks like it's similar in some ways to the
newline escaping in properties problem that I've been having. I
discussed it with clkao in IRC but I couldn't get it to happen
consistently enough to really be able to debug it.

In my case setting properties would cause any newlines to be replaced
with hard \n character pairs. Specifically, use of svn:ignore was
impossible.

I don't however appear to be having any problems with the svk:merge
property, so maybe it's not related in the slightest...
