Yes, remove the 0x08 control character from the dumpfile.
Control characters aren't allowed in path names or log messages, but
somehow one must have snuck into your repository. svn 1.2 is more
aggressive about preventing control characters from entering the
repository, so that's why you're seeing the error from 1.2 'svnadmin
load'.
