Whether or not it works on the client settings reliably, it's breaking these developer's workflow for even accidentally enabled use of auto-props to happen. I'm afraid their only real option is the pre-commit hook to prevent poisoning the data, because they don't necessarily have control of the client configurations. The risk of that pre-commit hook is that it forbids binary xml's at all, which does not seem such a big loss in this case. Mind you, this is the sort of thing that a README at the top of the "trunk" is useful for, to let users know of workflow problems in their.
