I can reproduce this with your repository. What I simply do not
understand is how this might have occured. I mean, the error is
thrown when trying to read the directory entries for your "/member"
directory. But that directory was modified *countless* times revision
637, which would have required reading those directory entries. In
fact, the only time that the node revision for this directory would
have been modified again would have been during deltification.

Can you promise me that nothing freaky happened to this repository,
like someone running 'svnadmin recover' while the repository was being
accessed?

Can you reveal the details of the bad import? Do you still have the
original pre-dump/load repository? I mean, there must be a way to
reproduce the steps which led to this.
