One way to get mergeinfo on non-mergeinfo nodes is when you copy a directory.

E.g. the repository has /trunk/dirA, without mergeinfo anywhere below /trunk. In a working copy on /trunk do:

        svn copy ^/trunk/dirA dirB

Now dirB has mergeinfo that is not helping in any way.

If you do instead:
        svn copy dirA dirB

dirB gets no mergeinfo. But that is probably related with the note about WC -> WC copies explained by "svn help copy".
