I was thinking that xapian-compact would write an index with valid
content, but maybe the corruption in the original index tricked it.

I decided to give regenerating the index from scratch a go - I started
it during the weekend, and it looks like it is "only" going to take
around a week in total.

So rather than wasting more of your time trying to decorrupt-at-a-
distance, I will switch over to a new, freshly created glass index,
hopefully later this week.

Thanks for all the guidance and suggestions!


  Best regards,
