I'm using 3.6.0-rc6 here. I collected the data from 2.6.38 because this
is the first kernel that shows the bug and I thought it would be easier
to isolate the fix this way (smaller distance).

This happens only after there was an attempt to mount /test/this
and the directory is already in the "incomplete" state, right?

My theory about the root cause is that when the mount fails, the
kernel forgets to "reset" the state of that dentry. Makes any sense?
