Hm...I hope not, since the same scenario could happen naturally. I
mean, my machine's clock could have just been wrong for the first
commit, and correcting the time, might have meant backing it up a
bit. No core Subversion functionality depends on those date
timestamps being ordered, as far as I know. That is, if you always
use -r with your subcommands, dates are never used at all.

svnlook.py (like svnlook) only works on repository paths (local disk),
not repository URLs.
That said, the bug should be fixed.
