I'm only posting to say I'm still waiting... The error came up while I slept, and when I copied that log and looked at it (yes, it WAS huge, just as you said), the timestamps at the head/tail were much later than the journal logged times. So I made a little script to monitor the journal kernel entries for that message and have it copy the file after maybe 5 seconds. And now, I'm just waiting for that error to occur again.
