(Get the code!)
Since you have identified a specific file which seems to be read in two different ways, it might be useful to capture the actual content of the file in each case (not just the md5sum values) and see if there is any discernible pattern to the corruption (e.g., extraneous trailing nulls in one of the two versions).
And if the corruption happens only with files that have more than one hard link, this might help explain why some people have not reported seeing the problem.
I've upgraded all five Ubuntu systems under my control to the latest Natty kernel (2.6.38-11.50), but I'm obviously still nervous as long as this bug appears to be evident.
