Frankly, we have no idea why this is going wrong. I cannot reproduce the problem
locally, and it seems to work fine with Special:Export.

Dump generation is a bit strange and wonderful, and few people actually know in
detail how it works on the live cluster. I vaguely remember that at one point,
only new revisions were dumped, and the result "stitched" into old dumps. That
would explain the issue - and it would be something we cannot fix on the
Wikibase side. I'm trying to get hold of someone who can confirm/fix this.

I have filed <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72348> so this gets
tracked. I'll also bring it up in our next call with the foundation.
