Thanks for the pointers. APR 1.4.x_at_HEAD doesn't have the fix either:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.4.x/file_io/unix/seek.c
CC'ing dev_at_apr to request backporting of r1044440. In our use-case
the bug in truncation causes filesystem corruption, i.e., is rather
severe.

Any attempt to read the revision (even with 'svn') should fail pretty
quickly. (Reading a revision file starts by reading the root noderev's
offset and the changed-paths offset from the last line; that last line
is likely to either be garbage or point at garbage offsets within the
file.)
