Consider using svndumptool to rewrite all your svn:externals properties into 
the form that doesn't use the complete repository URL, but rather uses relative 
URLs.

See the section beginning "Also, absolute URLs can cause problems":

Thanks. I will consider that, provided I can get some downtime to perform a dump/rewrite/load cycle, probably at the same time upgrade server to 1.9.x.

The main problem right now is people trying to checkout/update a path with a invalid external doesn't wait long enough to get the error. Also TortoiseSVN repository browser hangs when trying to browse to a folder with an invalid external (probably also for about 5 minutes, hasn't checked).
Seems like a bug to me.
