Two things about ogra's superblock info:

Filesystem created: Wed Mar 21 14:46:13 2007
Last mount time: Wed Mar 21 14:28:37 2007
Last write time: Wed Mar 21 14:28:37 2007
Mount count: 2
Maximum mount count: 26
Last checked: Wed Mar 21 14:19:59 2007
Check interval: 15552000 (6 months)

First, the filesystem creation time is later than the last mount time. Second, the check interval is set (don't we set that to zero by default now?).

If my guess is correct, it should be possible to reproduce this problem by setting the hardware clock backward between installation and first boot. Systems with a faulty CMOS battery, where the clock resets to an earlier epoch at each boot, would exhibit this type of problem.
