HI Jochen, Welcome to [email protected]
For the readers here, this topic has already been discussed a bit on the TortoiseSVN group, see https://groups.google.com/g/tortoisesvn/c/-msg_dvvTdI Some comments from that discussion below.

I have suggested to create the repositories with as high version as SVNKit can support to see if there is a difference. I have also suggested to do the dump via svnrdump since that use SVNKit's repo layer which seems to be fine with the repository ondisk format.
