This seems very similar to what I am seeing on my system if I use 2.6.37 instead of maveric's usual 2.6.35. I have been running ubuntu off of a flash drive on this system since 9.04 and only recently stared to encounter this. Unlike the original report I have never had the accompanying kernel panics at boot. Fsck runs at boot and manages to repair the filesystem and then boot properly.

It should probably be noted that my setup is a little different in that I run two USB flash drives in RAID 0 instead of a single drive and that my /boot partition is on the SSD that came with the laptop and has so far not been affected by this. I did also run a single USB drive for a while a year or so back and I do not recall encountering this issue.
