Please check if those repositories also have different UUIDs. If they
don't, you have to do a dump/reload for those: every repository must
have a unique ID (that's why it's called an UUID).
Repositories with identical UUIDs can only happen if you copy a
'default' repository for every project you create.

Also, can you maybe try a nightly build from
http://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/latest/
and check if it still happens?
