How do I stop Subversive from setting svn:mime-type
to text/plain
on initial commit?

By default, Subversion only sets svn:mime-type to application/octet-stream when the file is binary (and you didn't explictly assign any other value). See Automatic Property Setting for reference. So this feature is courtesy of Subversive.
I'm afraid I'm not a Subversive user, but I found in Google a reference to a menu in "Window > Preferences> Team > SVN > Properties Configuration > Automatic Properties" where it seems you can remove unwanted associations.
