svnadmin dump generates (hopefully) spurious warnings - Loading this dump into an empty repository will fail

I'm running "svnadmin dump" in NON-INCREMENTAL mode. Yet I am getting a
warning that a corresponding load will fail. I don't understand what is
going on. My reading indicates that it should be perfectly fine to load
this back into an empty repository, and that the first rev in the new
repo will look like rev 2000 of the original repo.

Is the warning in error?
Is something really wrong?

Here is the command I'm executing.

svnadmin dump /svnrepos/socom-tws2-frozen/ -r 2000:3966 > dummy
<long startup delay aggregating the first 2000 revs>
* Dumped revision 2000.
* Dumped revision 2001.
* Dumped revision 2002.
...
* Dumped revision 2570.
* Dumped revision 2571.
* Dumped revision 2572.
WARNING: Referencing data in revision 1926, which is older than the
oldest
WARNING: dumped revision (2000). Loading this dump into an empty
repository
WARNING: will fail.
* Dumped revision 2573.
* Dumped revision 2574.
* Dumped revision 2575.

Environment:
- svn, version 1.4.6 (r28521)
- CentOS 5.1
