In short: The --show-inherited-props only figure out what properties are listed for the parent(s) of the current path, but it doesn't automatically mean that a property is applied on a subdirectory (as you have already figured out). Now, we can regard this as a bug or as "works as intended". I can see a point in svn:ignore being applied also to subdirectories, however this will mean a change in behaviour between how older and newer versions of the Subversion client work with a particular repository and I suppose this was the reason why it was decided not to have all properties apply to subdirectories. The svn:global-ignores property [2] should be applied to any subdirectories, so if you switch to this property you will probably get the behaviour you are looking for.
