Where does the truncation happen? Do you get only the first 8KB of the
property? Do you get everything except the last 8KB? What is the
offset from the point of truncation to the start and to the (true) end
of the property? (Is that offset a power of 2?)

You can determine all that with 'svn propget --strict svn:mergeinfo ./'
and 'svn propget --strict svn:mergeinfo URL'.
