Did you add, or did the already have authz based access control?
(And do you still have read access to that path?) Since you are comparing
backups I assume so, but I thought I would ask...
Did you dump, filter, and reload the repository at some point removing
files in that path?
Either of these actions would result in log entries with (no date)...

If you are using an unpacked fsfs repository, check to see the size of the
file with the revision number in the db/revs directory. Is it really
small?
