Yes, I also recently hit this bug. I found that the root cause is that in data=journal mode there are dirty pages even after syncing the whole filesystem. I didn't yet found out why that happens but dirty page handling is complex in data=journal mode as pages get marked dirty at the moment transaction is committing and buffers are filed into checkpoint lists so I find it quite possible there is some case I didn't think about where syncing results in non-clean filesystem.
