I have already seen eol-style cause trouble: I have my working copy on a linux server, but am using TortoiseSVN on Windows to do SVN operations conveniently. So sometimes I do an svn up from Windows via a Samba share on the server. Now, if eol-style is set to native, this causes some scripts to get CRLF line endings, which will result in very weird errors when trying to use them on the linux box the next time. Some of those took quite some time to get figured out. So from what I can tell, they do more harm than they can prevent. Feel free to point me to a different scenario where they actually help.
