No. 'svnadmin load' should never change anything, period. That would
merely mask bugs in the dumpfile generator.

I don't think so.

Yep.
Subversion has a concept of "repository normal format", which is defined to
be Unix-style line endings and contracted keywords.
Unlike CVS, where files are text unless explicitly declared binary (-kb),
Subversion does not assume that everyone wants "native" EOL style on all
files by default. So, IIRC:
* files that don't have svn:eol-style set are stored as-is in the
repository
* files that have svn:eol-style set to a particular fixed format ("CRLF",
"LF", etc) are stored in the repository in that format
* files that have svn:eol-style set to "native" get stored in this
repository normal format, and the client takes care of translating
between RNF and the correct line ending style.
