  If this refuses to regress, claiming that there is no corruption, I
  have a bash script which can 'force' a regression. You can repeat
  this as many times as necessary to get past (hopefully) the original
  corruption.
So it'll be a "force regression, try --verify, until --verify runs
through", losing one full, probably uncorrupted increment per iteration?

Exactly. Best to take a backup of the repository before trying it.
