Since it seems like blob data is making it into the stream in an odd
place, my first guess would be a memory problem. Can you try installing
valgrind (since you are on Ubuntu, there should be a package), and then
running:

  valgrind git fast-export --all >/dev/null 2>valgrind.out

and then sharing the results of valgrind.out?
