Yes, those dumps are broken indeed.

This is because you are using experimental extension (LiquidThreads) on your wiki
and this extension is unable to properly dump some fancy characters. This page
is causing trouble:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/hu/wiki/Téma:Szerkesztővita:Dencey/Fölösleges_információk/válasz_(3)

or, to be more specific, this:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/hu/wiki/Speciális:Lapok_exportálása/Téma:Szerkesztővita:Dencey/Fölösleges_információk/válasz_(3)

I have filed this bug for you:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29564

but it seems this not a first time when LiquidThreads breaks dumps
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22688).
