I had seen that on older kernels too --- it doesn't seem to be related
to the recent data-corrupting problems.  And when "df" shows bad data,
I'm still seeing the kernel return valid data from strace:

statfs("/boot", {f_type="EXT2_SUPER_MAGIC", f_bsize=1024, f_blocks=248895, f_bfree=389288, f_bavail=376438, f_files=64256, f_ffree=64210, f_fsid={0, 0}, f_namelen=255, f_frsize=1024}) = 0
write(1, "/dev/sda1               248895 -"..., 74) = 74
/dev/sda1        248895 -18446744073709411223    376438 101% /boot

At the moment they look like separate problems.
