As that file says:

  We always apply data compression to the pack file - using the
  SVN_DELTA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE level if compression is disabled.
  (Note that compression at SVN_DELTA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE is not
  a no-op stream transformation although most of the data will remain
  human readable.)

I assume those two bytes are the compression artifact, i.e., they won't
be visible if you read the file through svn_stream_compressed(). See
libsvn_subr/compress.c:zlib_encode().

Daniel
