I finally managed to work on this problem a bit this weekend.
Finally, the repo dump will also contain some svm:* properties. These
should probably be removed too, for completeness sake. A property
definition in the dump file looks like:
K \d+
<propname>
V \d+
<propval>
E.g.,
K 10
svn:author
V 3

Keyword/value pairs, with the trailing digits indicating the string
length, not including the terminating '\n'. Again, you'll need to write
a filter that can strip these out.
Turns out you can't do this in straight Perl. If you, you wind up with
stanzas that look like
Prop-content-length: 98
Content-length: 98
PROPS-END
and I suspect that will cause indigestion later on. Rather than fiddle
around with calculating content lengths myself, or try and drop the
entire stanza since there's nothing left, it looks like SVN::Dump will
have me writing much less make-work code.
Later,
