http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1148424&view=rev seems related.
It hasn't been backported to 1.6.x. wrt the log message, hard to tell what happened exactly. The right output to share is 'svn pget --revprop --strict svn:log | xxd', but at a guess it's a non-UTF-8 log message. (so it would need to be recoded prior to or during the sync; new versions of svnsync can do that during the sync.)
