You mention only filesystem errors, no block device related errors.
In this case, I'd say that it's more likely that dm-crypt is to blame
rather than MD.

I think you should try the dm-devel mailing list.  Posting a complete
log of everything that has happened would probably be a good thing.

I have no experience with dm-crypt, but I do have experience with
another dm target (dm-snapshot), which iss very good at destroying my
data.

If you want a stable solution for encrypting your files, I can
recommend loop-aes.
loop-aes has very well thought-through security, the docs are concise
but have wide coverage,
it has good backwards compatibility - probably not your biggest
concern right now, but it is *very* nice to know that your data is
accessible, in the future as well as now - etc..  I've been using it
for a couple of years now, since the 2.2 or 2.4 days (can't remember),
and I've had nothing short of an absolutely *brilliant* experience
with it.

Enough propaganda for now, hope that you get your problem solved :-).
