While there might be an argument for making the Subversion date parser
more tolerant, it does seem like this is a bug in vss2svn, which is a
separate project. Subversion is only responsible for the repositories
it creates. If some other tool creates a repository that looks a lot
like a Subversion repository (except that it's not, quite, because it
uses a different date format), Subversion may not be able to parse
that repository.
However, just write a script to go through the repository, changing
the svn:date revision properties in the obvious way, that should fix
it. Do
search://subversion revprops/
for more on them :-).
