This happened to me as well. I'm using Windows 10 Edition. My world of 2 years will no longer load – Minecraft crashes whenever I try to open it. And I also can't open any of the backups of that world.
I did try loading the seed as a new world, and that worked. Doing so, I noticed that the world spawn location is slightly different – maybe 100 or 200 blocks away from the old world spawn point.
Hopefully this is something that will be resolved with the 1.9 update.
