git-svn does not create the index manually. It uses update-index or
read-tree to do that. While there's still a chance of bugs in
update-index that produces broken index, it's probably read-tree in
this case because it assumes good order from the source tree object,
which is(?) generated by git-svn. And the write-tree message supports
this (the code does read-tree then write-tree).

So maybe you can do "GIT_TRACE=2 git svn fetch" and post the output.
I'd expect to see something like "git read-tree <sha1>" before "fatal:
unorder...". You can then use git ls-tree <sha1> to examine this tree,
try to sort the file list with "LANG=C sort" and compare with the
original list.
