Humm, so this SVN behaviour cannot occur in a standard SVN installation? Or can this also be achieved by anyone? If not, there is imho little chance of getting your changes into the upstream repo.
Do you have a parent pom for your projects? Have you tried to override the dependency on maven-scm-provider-svnexe for your build to a locally patched version via <dependencyManagement> ? I assume you have something like archiva, mavenproxy or nexus setup and also have a company-internal plugin repository, isn't? So you could easily make the release process work for your company without having to release your changes to the public repo.
