These errors cannot be caused by a bug in the file system.  It is possible, although highly unlikely, that a bug in the device driver could generate these errors.

The most likely cause is that there actually are bad blocks on your new 1.5TB file system.

Do us all a favor and run:

Badblocks -v -b block_size /dev/device

And let us know about the results.
