You probably mean keywords, which are expanded within file content,
rather than properties, which are meta-data attached to files or
directories and manipulated with the propset/propget/prop​del/propedit
commands?

I cannot reproduce this, it works for me, with trunk as of r883642.

$ cat alpha
$URL$
alpha
$ svn ps svn:keywords URL alpha
property 'svn:keywords' set on 'alpha'
$ svn ci -m "set URL keyword in /trunk/alpha"
Sending alpha
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 3.
$ cd ../branch/
$ svn ps svn:keywords URL alpha
property 'svn:keywords' set on 'alpha'
$ cat alpha
$URL$
alpha
$ svn ci -m "set URL keyword in /branch/alpha"
Sending alpha
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 4.
$ cd ../trunk
$ cat alpha
$URL: file:///tmp/svn-sand​box/repos/trunk/alph​a $
alpha
$ svn switch ^/branch
At revision 4.
$ cat alpha
$URL: file:///tmp/svn-sand​box/repos/branch/alp​ha $
alpha
$

As you can see, the URL is expanded correctly after the switch.
