Sounds strange, but I'd say check it in on top of the other then once 
it's all working properly you can either label the old revision or 
remove it with the admin -o command.

Can you check out revision 1.1 and open it properly?

Something I just noticed -- by the file name, looks like you've been 
merging the branch that the binary doc is on.  If you used cvs up -kk 
-jbranch to do that then you probably messed up the file at that point 
since -kk tells cvs to treat files like text.  I don't see that in your 
log though, so this might not be applicable.
