...which is *exactly* the situation I described as failing for the
case where you need to restore to a machine running a different OS (or
even a different libdb).

I didn't insert the "casual sysadmin" bit to insult your skills, I did
it to try to drive home the idea that (becuase of a IMHO poor design
choice by the svn developers) a robust Subversion installation
requires planning and thought.  Simply plugging it into your existing
backup system will leave you vulnerable to a nasty failure mode; one
that is (1) not documented anywhere and (2) has happened to at least
one user in the past.  Thus, the warning.
