Haven't read the whole thread, but the problem here has to do with r81. r80 moved fine and I expect `svnlook youngest dest` = 80.
If the source repos has authz set up or has undergone history surgeries that's likely related. You could try running: % svnserve --log-file=foo.log -dr. % svnsync sync svn://localhost to get a "destination server" log.
