Try the fsfsverify.py script:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/server-side/fsfsverify.py

Copy the broken revision file to a temporary area.
Run fsfsverify.py -f on that copy until it reports no further errors.
Then check if the revision file works again if moved into the repository.
Keep a backup of the broken rev just in case!

If you want to know more details, see:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3705

There's also been another recent post by Julian Foad about corrupt
revisions and how he fixed them:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-10/0095.shtml

We know what the symptoms of the problem are, but we don't know the root
cause yet. To contribute a data point, could you please tell us which
server version and which client versions are you using?

Thanks,
Stefan
