I've done a few dirty reboots on the laptop that was showing the problem 
(trying to intentionally blow things up by rebooting in the middle of a 
kernel compile), and have yet to see the kinds of problems I had 
originally.

Instead of getting problems with "lookup()" finding deleted inodes, I get 
orphan cleanup during recovery, and the filesystem looks ok. I get 
truncated files in the compile (and need to remove the bad *.o files), 
but that's what I'd _expect_ from killing the machine in the middle of a 
compile.

So I think you nailed it with the revert.
