I didn't spot anything obvious in the logs.

After I did an fsck and tried to continue, I didn't get that far.
After another 200GB or so it happened again.
And now it's reproducible:
I can run fsck and then try to continue (using rsync). But as soon as writing 
starts, the process hangs for a long time. At least one minute, probably longer.
Then the ext4_mb_generate_buddy comes again.

I upgraded e2fstools from 1.41.14 to 1.42 and the kernel to 3.2.2.
No difference.
That FS is unusable.
