I tracked down the problem to revision 71 in svn, where the trunk
directory was "replaced" according to svnadmin dump.  This confused the
svn->git importer in that it didn't delete everything in the old version
of trunk before putting the new files in place so some of the files
present in revision prior to 71 showed up where they should have been
deleted.
