just borked that way (compared to 9) or did my svn client mess up somehow 
(which wouldn't make much sense since it worked for stable/9 okay)?

merge logic.  For some reason, 1.6 tends to add lots of property changes to 
each subdirectory, when merging.  This was mostly fixed in 1.7.

Also, because of 1.7 merges adding more subdir mergeinfo, 1.6 merges now add
a lot more mergeinfo.  1.6 should really be avoided at this point for merges
if at all possible.
