Yep, known bug.  Page writeback locking is messed up for buffer_head
users.  The extNfs folks volunteered to look into this a while back but
I don't think they have found the time yet.

Last I looked there were still code paths in ext3 and ext4 that
permitted pages to be changed during flight.  I guess you've just been
lucky.
