I managed to fix it using 'borg check --repair'. My backup drive is a
BTRFS RAID1, so after using Btrfs to check there were no physical
errors, I copied the Borg repository ('cp -R', really fast because of
COW), then ran the repair. It reported a single error from an
unimportant file (which presumably was causing the shower of errors due
to de-duplication), and the repair fixed it.
Thanks for the various suggestions.
