Yes.
If you try to merge that with a second descendant of the original
revision, where the other descendant is still flagged as binary, like
so...
bin-1
/ \
/ \
bin-2 text
\ /
\ /
??
...it should be treated as binary (manual_merge) in that merge, even tho
the resulting mtn:manual_merge attribute value is false (text file /
auto merge).
