Neil,
Thanks for the report.  In attempting to reproduce, I wasn't even able
to get as far as comparing the dumpfiles, as svnrdump asserted
somewhere in the process.  I opened issue 3844[1] to track this bug,
and committed an XFailing test in r1085428.  I also marked the issue
as important for a 1.7.0 release.
