If I create the repo with TSVN1.3.0, I can access it just fine.
But I can't access a repo created with TSVN1.2.6 or the CL client anymore.
Also, to access a repo created with TSVN 1.3.0 with the CL client, I
first have to do an 'svnadmin recover'.

Not for me here. I get a crash.
When I try again, TSVN just hangs.
Maybe it depends on which function you call - I'm browsing with the
repobrowser.

I'm thinking about removing support for BDB from TSVN. Those still using
such repositories will have to dump/load those to FSFS format before
they can use it with TSVN again.
But that would still be better than the 'broken' BDB feature we now
have. I mean, no matter what you do, it either crashes, or you can't use
any other clients. And I've already received quite enough crashreports
for 1.3.0 already - and it's only out two days!
