My backup drive is a BTRFS RAID1, so after using Btrfs to check there were no physical errors, I copied the Borg repository ('cp -R', really fast because of COW), then ran the repair. It reported a single error from an unimportant file (which presumably was causing the shower of errors due to de-duplication), and the repair fixed it.
