What do the letter suffixes on SVN version numbers mean?

We have a svnversion reported as 22625P.

What does the "P" mean?

It's also possible you haven't done any sparse checkouts, and "P" means "punched up". The working copy has been subjected to too many SVN version upgrades, or whatever cleanup can't repair. Probably best to check out a new working copy.

PS: this sort of thing happened with versions of SVN around that time; it hasn't happened anywhere I saw in the year 2010 or later, and I use a lot of SVN features a lot of the time.
