The error message was changed by b6c4cec (read_sha1_file(): report correct name of packfile with a corrupt object, 2010-10-28) and especially v1.7.3-rc0~73^2 (sha1_file: Show the the type and path to corrupt objects, 2010-06-10).

Random guess: maybe a corrupt but redundant packed object was removed in the course of investigation? Sylvestre, are you still able to get errors from the repository? If you still have a copy of the original corrupt version of the repository, I would be interested (to learn something about how it got damaged in the first place).
