a bitmap file is binary and will get the mime-type: "svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream"
from the auto_props it will get "svn:mime-type=image/bmp".

From SVN manual "For example, if a file's svn:mime-type property is set to a non-text MIME type (generally, something that doesn't begin with text/, though there are exceptions), Subversion will assume that the file contains binary—that is, not human-readable—data."
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.file-portability.html#svn.advanced.props.special.mime-type)

AFAIK, there should be only one mime type per file - it does not have sense to have multiple of them.
Can both settings exists at the same time?
Must both settings be set in order to treat the file as binary?
How is the list of properties assigned? Separated by semicolon or multiline?

I think that all properties are "unique" - in the sense that You can apply one property to a file only once. The property can be multiline, yes. But how the value of property is handled depends entirely on the tool who uses the property.

Are some properties defined to be unique and others not? E.g. the "svn:executable" does not have a value.

There are couple of properties where the value is ignored: "svn:executable", "svn:needs-lock"
