I went ahead and tried this just after asking, and it didn't actually work.
It stopped when it got to the sub-directories belonging to the externals
(yes, I deleted their .svn dirs) with errors:
External failed <external-sub-dir>
Error The node '<external-sub-dir> ' was not found.
What I ended up doing was exporting all items to another folder, creating a
fresh check-out, then re-copying the exported contents (including
modifications) over the fresh sandbox.
