Doesn't this mean you ended up with revs 4477 to 4481 on the old repo
and loaded their content into the new repo as either new revisions,
increasing the revisions and changing content compared to the old
repo, or overwritten already existing revisions, changing content in
new repo? Both repos share the same base until rev 4477 and how should
subversion afterwards merge the differences during a load? Would this
work if the changes of the revisions in the both repos are completely
independent?

I would very more about the repos, than the working copies, therefore
if I could recover a consistent base from backup I would choose that,
let the devs move their current working copies out of the way,
re-checkout and afterwards would try to re-commit as much as possible.

In this case they all have to re-checkout.
