I've only had it happen the one time. From the discussion on IRC and
reading the list archives, it appears that the exact cause is still
unknown.

Subversion's recover fails every time with the error referenced in the
list archive link. Berkeley db_recover appears to complete (both normal
and catastrophic). However, the db itself remains unusable. db_verify
on the other hand does indicate a problem.
