TLP corruption can happen during command setup phase and bit flipping in the command address part is definitely possible, so reads and writes can be headed at wrong places in both memory and disk.

It would be great if you can try a different controller in similar setup. But please keep trying to narrow down the problem and if possible please remove filesystem from the stack and test against the block device directly.
