Hello,
svn.wikimedia.org says that [0] should have dumps of the repository, but there's nothing there. Is that intended? If so, the link should perhaps be removed. Otherwise, it appears there may be missing backups.

The link is correct. They should be there. I have a cron fetching them. The last one which was available there is mediawiki-svndump-20100703-revs68595:68934 from jul 3. So the failure would have appeared between 4 July and 10 July.
There was a power outage on 5 July. That would explain the script no longer updating it, but not the missing files. Maybe they were in nfs?

That power outage was in Florida, and the SVN server is in Amsterdam, so unless the script is running on a different box or NFS is involved or whatever, I don't think the power outage could've caused this.

NFS was involved, the backups were actually being put on storage2. Storage2 has bad drives, so we haven't been able to get to the dumps.
That, and transatlantic NFS mounts are bad, so Mark wanted me to come up with a new solution anyway. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
