No, my mistake -- I forgot it isn't trying to write out a faithful copy of that revision, in non-incremental mode.

Side-by-side testing would still be a good thing in general. The "--dump-load-cross-check" test mode flag does some of that, although not comprehensively testing all variations of dumps. So I ran tests with that flag (it's very slow), and discovered a few issues. The first one I found, I reported as SVN-4767 and fixed in r1837151. There are some more to look at, some time.
