Ted, no, sorry; I didn't mean to confuse. Those are just left-over corruption
from my initial fs hit. I just thought I'd report the fact that fsck didn't
notice this when cleaning up from the original corruption.

I.e. here's my timeline for this corruption:

resize
get errors in dmesg
umount
fsck -f (for half a day, cleans up tons)
mount
delete all of lost+found
continue using fs
more dmesg errors
umount
fsck -f (returns without error)
mount
continue using fs
still dmesg errors
rm offending directory completely
no more errors

So, it seemed like a flaw in fsck that it didn't find the bad directory, but
since it was related to the corruption introduced by this kernel bug, I thought
I'd bring it up in this thread.
