When I format sda1 with *fs, I expect that only sda1 will be touched by the fs, nothing else. I cannot think of a corner case where the fs has to touch something else. So, assuming that's correct and assuming ext3 is not buggy, I'd exclude ext3 from being the one writing to this particular space on disk.
