It might be worth noting that the bug is fairly nasty. I had to recover my system yesterday afternoon. Today, after the overnight locatedb build (which might be disk intensive), but relatively little use of the disk during a few hours of normal work, the bug was triggered again by my downloading and unpacking (dpkg -i) the 3.6.2-030602 kernel components. It failed during the unpack, and I had to boot a rescue CD, fsck which reset the file system state many hours (by discarding part of the journal), then download and unpack the kernel packages again since all that had been lost.
That worked, so I'm running with that now.
