Hi, I've created a fix for the issue at [328], in case someone is willing to test it on an impacted repo, or rather on a _copy_ of it.

The last snapshot can still be recovered by hand, simply with cp or rsync, but indeed, without more information, it doesn't sound like something we can fix without a lot of work. Depending on how important the data is to you, and how much disk space you need to recover, I would get rid of those repositories all together or "transform" them into simple file repos by removing the "rdiff-backup-data" directory.
