Looking at r1573111

  /* Check if the contents *may* have changed. (Allow false positives,
     for now, as the blame implementation currently depends on them.) */
  /* Special case: In the first revision, we always provide a delta. */
   if (sb->last_root)
- SVN_ERR(svn_fs_contents_changed2(&contents_changed, sb->last_root,
- sb->last_path, root, path_rev->path,
- FALSE, sb->iterpool));
+ SVN_ERR(svn_fs_contents_different(&contents_changed, sb->last_root,
+ sb->last_path, root, path_rev->path,
+ sb->iterpool));
   else
     contents_changed = TRUE;

That looks like an error since svn_fs_contents_different() passes TRUE
for strict, not FALSE. I think the intention was that r1573111 should
call svn_fs_contents_changed().

However the implementation of root_vtable_t.contents_changed() has
changed in 1.9 and it no longer reports as many changes as it used to
report so even replacing the _different() call with a _changed() call
does not solve the problem. The only way I can see to fix the problem
is to simply ignore/remove the call altogether and to hard-code
contents_changed to TRUE.
