ROFL, this really is the best setup I've read about on ext3-users ;)

So, if this would be reproducible, one could activate the in-kernel
debug flags or more specifically JBD_DEBUG or even try kdb[0] to see
what's going on. Oh, and when we can see corruption patterns while
the system is exposed to your special environment, I'd love to test the
patch introducing CONFIG_EXT3_NEUTRON ;)
