Yes, that does turn up some interesting stuff. It looks like the repository contains some paths with non-ASCII characters, for example this one has some en-dashes (U+2013) in its name:
$ svn ls -R svn://dev/trunk/curriculum/Fluency | grep Ninja__Beta
Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 – Ninja/FT3 – Ninja__Beta.zip
$ svn ls -R svn://dev/trunk/curriculum/Fluency | grep Ninja__Beta | od -cx

In the output of 'git ls-files', those paths appear quoted (there are almost 100 of them):
$ git ls-files | grep Ninja__Beta
"curriculum/Fluency/Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja__Beta.zip"
$ git ls-files | grep ^\" | wc -l
89
In the diff you suggested, 'sort' puts those paths at the absolute top of the list, while plain old ls-files puts them inline with the rest of the contents of the curriculum/ subdir:
$ grep -n Ninja__Beta Q R
Q:36109:"curriculum/Fluency/Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja__Beta.zip"
R:89:"curriculum/Fluency/Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja__Beta.zip"
Also, I have the curriculum/Fluency/ directory marked as sparse-checkout:
$ cat .git/info/sparse-checkout
/*
!/curriculum/Fluency/
!/curriculum/Problems/lisp/
!/curriculum/Problems/lisp_es/
!/curriculum/Problems/sdk/Geometry/
!/curriculum/Problems/sdk_es/Geometry/
!/curriculum/Problems/sdk/Test-Questions/
!/curriculum/Problems/sdk_es/Test-Questions/
!/curriculum/Problems/sdk/Grammar/
However, I tried to construct a test case that would reproduce this with a simple SVN repo containing a file created by 'touch "make-git-svn-$(echo -e '\u201c')unhappy$(echo -e '\u201d')"', but could not get it to fail. So there may be something more subtle going on here ...
