For me this took place after an ordinary login without manually mounting the directory. Since then I've used ecryptfs-recover-private to mount it privately so I could copy out as much data as I could to some other directory (it, too, sees the corrupted filesystem with duplicate directories and the like).

I just went into ...home/.ecryptfs/myname and did an ls -laF .Private/ and was surprised to see both encrypted and unencrypted names of the duplicated files and directories!

e.g.

drwxr-xr-x 22 1000 1000 4096 2011-05-05 03:11 ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.Gobbledygook--/

I'm not familiar enough with ecryptfs to know for sure, but that doesn't smell right to me.
