I wonder, rather than set up the authz with a back door from the start (that sounds like what you're thinking), could this extra test code switch off all authorization for the particular repository? Is that feasible, for the different kinds of server? It has plain disk access to the repos directory, but I don't know if it knows exactly where to find the authz file or other config files in every case.

Sure. Committed onto branch '^/subversion/branches/dump-load-cross-check' in r1654853.
