The kdb5_util man page implies that the dbname is required for the load
command, when in fact it is optional.

  load [-old] [-b6] [-b7] [-ov] [-hash]
    [-verbose] [-update] filename dbname [admin_dbname]
    Loads a database  dump  from  the  named  file  into  the  named
    database.  Unless the -old or -b6 option is given, the format of
    the dump file is detected automatically and handled as appropri-
    ate.   Unless  the  -update  option is given, load creates a new
    database containing only the principals in the dump file,  over-
    writing  the  contents  of  any  previously  existing  database.

For example, this command works just fine:
% kdb5_util load krb5dump.bak
