bayes_seen is rather irrelevant. bayes_toks is very binary-oriented, and uses lots of pack() calls.
There is no SA-based "validity" check for the DB files/data. If you think the DB file itself is corrupt, you could try the appropriate DBM tools (db_verify, etc.) The dump/restore method really should have solved your issue. If you're still having the same problem, I would say either a) are you sure you're looking at the right DB file, b) do the dump/restore again and make sure to delete/move the DB file before restoring, c) make sure the data you're restoring is valid (gigo and all that).
