svnadmin: Decompression of svndiff data failed - how to recover?

After moving the svn repository (FSFS backend) to a new machinge I cannot get the repository working because a revision is corrupt: currently, I'm at revision 892. If I try
  svnadmin verify REPOS_PATH
I get:

  * Verified revision 1.
  * Verified revision 2.
  * Verified revision 3.
    [---snip---]
  * Verified revision 79.
  svnadmin: Decompression of svndiff data failed

Although I am not interested in revision 80 since it is outdated, I cannot checkout any later revision without having this fixed. The only useful hint on googling was to try to fix the problem with fsfsverify.py
I tried but to no avail. The problem persisted.

I don't know when the repo got corrupted. Strange thing: the following command:
  svn log -r 80 hsvn://REPOS_URL
displays the log message of revision #1 or #2 ("migrated CVS HEAD revision") instead of the log message of the revision#80. So I'm not sure which changes have been in commit #80.

I'm very thankful for any hints,
Andi
