Thanks for the clue, dump->filter->load fixed it.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch05s03.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.1.3

Quick synopsis to anybody browsing the archive as the manual's guide is
for *nix systems:

Get dump file of repository
WinNT> svnadmin dump c:\path\to\repos > broken.dmp

Filter offending file, note using 'type' instead of 'cat' on a Windows
box. Should report removal of file when done.
WinNT> type broken.dmp | svndumpfilter exclude path/to/resource.h >
fixed.dmp

Move broken repository out of the way (just in case)
WinNT> move c:\path\to\repos c:\path\to\repos.bak

Recreate repository and load back in the fixed dump file
WinNT> svnadmin create c:\path\to\repos
WinNT> type fixed.dmp | svnadmin load c:\path\to\repos
