It's not possible to load a dumpfile that contains a sha1 collision:

[[[
% wget https://shattered.it/static/shattered-1.pdf https://shattered.it/static/shattered-2.pdf
% svnadmin create r
% svn co file://$PWD/r wc
% cd wc
wc% cp ../shattered-* .
wc% svn add *
wc% svn ci -madd
wc% cd ../
% svnadmin create r2
% svnadmin dump -r > dump
% svnadmin load r2 < dump
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
     * editing path : shattered-1.pdf ... done.
     * editing path : shattered-2.pdf ...svnadmin: E200014: Checksum mismatch for '/shattered-2.pdf':
   expected: 5bd9d8cabc46041579a311230539b8d1
     actual: ee4aa52b139d925f8d8884402b0a750c

zsh: exit 1 svnadmin load r2 < dump
%
]]]

That's with 1.9.5. Is it fixed on trunk now? I'm not sure whether
r1785754 addresses that.

Incidentally: the error code added in r1785754 is misspelled:
SVN_ERR_FS_AMBIUGOUS_CHECKSUM_REP should be
SVN_ERR_FS_AMBIGUOUS_CHECKSUM_REP.
---------------^^

Not only in the error message, also in the code.
