I don't think it'll make it into 1.2.

This can be done by manually setting svn:owner, svn:group and svn:unix-mode to 
anything (eg "yes") - it will be committed with the current values.
I'm preparing to get my dir-auto-props into the meta-data-versioning-branch; 
then you can in your configuration file define automatic properties for 
directories, too, and every add/import will send the right values into the 
repository.

As the values are changed on a commit, a change of the file (or at least of 
properties) is needed.
Try
 svn ps svn:owner $RANDOM path/to/file
The next commit should put the correct values in the repository.

Although it's needed for the functionality?

If you import /etc, you need owner, group, and mode not only of the files, but 
the directories too!

No, it won't, since 1.2 is already feature-frozen.

Do not do this. Combining multiple features into a single feature branch 
will result in annoyed developers.
