This worked beautifully, thank you!
Now I just have to compel management to spend the time to upgrade all
the seven year-old software packages on the server...

You may attempt to load the dump using a current version of Apache
Subversion not affected by the issue, but into a repository compatible
with your production version, and then move/sync the FSFS. Specifically:
svnadmin create --pre-1.5-compatible foorepo svnadmin
--compatible-version 1.4.4 foorepo
With kind regards,
