Hello Brad,
I submitted a patch for this, including a test file a few days ago.
My recommendation was to follow the practice as set out by the svn command line tool, which was that git svn respect auto-props in the config file unless specifically overridden by --auto-props or --no-auto-props.
My patch is attached.
