I have not done any proper deeper analysis. After I first mailed about
the issue I just downgraded GCC and pretty much forgot about it until
an engineer from some commercial Linux vendor replied privately months
later and kindly pointed me the needed GCC fix (which I then shared
in the reply). Then I just moved on using a newer GCC with no issues.
Obviously this was not a widespread problem since no one else
reported the same.

Today I again booted a kernel compiled with GCC 4.8.2 and still was able
reproduce the issue, and I think below shows that at least ext3 can
easily end up in inconsistent state using these compiler versions:

0) Run the bad kernel:

~ # dmesg|grep GCC
[    0.000000] Linux version 3.17.0-mvebu-los_9755+ (aaro@cooljazz) (gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC) ) #1 Fri Oct 10 21:05:20 EEST 2014

1) Start with small ext3 (writeback) fs with gcc tarball:

/mnt/test # ls -l
total 84092
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      85999682 Apr 24 21:52 gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
drwx------    2 root     root         16384 Oct 10 10:33 lost+found
/mnt/test # df -h .

/dev/sdc1                 3.8G     90.2M      3.5G   2% /mnt/test

2) Extract, delete & crash:

/mnt/test # tar xjf gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2

3) Boot a good kernel:

~ # dmesg | grep GCC
[    0.000000] Linux version 3.17.0-mvebu-los_1b42 (aaro@cooljazz) (gcc version 4.9.1 (GCC) ) #1 Thu Oct 9 06:46:07 EEST 2014

4) Use the beforementioned file system and try to clean the mess:

/mnt/test # df -h .
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc1                 3.8G    796.2M      2.8G  22% /mnt/test

5) fsck to rescue:

/mnt/test # cd /
~ # umount /mnt/test
~ # fsck /dev/sdc1
fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
/dev/sdc1: clean, 21/262144 files, 72408/1048576 blocks
~ # fsck -f /dev/sdc1
fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure

Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 3A: Optimizing directories
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information

/dev/sdc1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sdc1: 21/262144 files (19.0% non-contiguous), 72368/1048576 blocks
~ # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/
~ # rm -rf /mnt/gcc-4.8.2
~ # 

So in this case fsck was able to fix it.
