Yes, probably.

Probably, to be consistent. svn is special here, because it does not
have a .svnignore file like the other VC systems, but one needs to use a
svn command (specifically, svn propget svn:ignore) to get to the
information. I can think that under unusual circumstances this might
cause a problem.

Probably also, to be consistent. Note that git does not have keyword
expansion, and as it seems, will never have.
