I can't think of anything I did special other than using force because I hadn't done a Safely Remove device on Windows last time.

I plan to try some experimentation again.

I had previously successfully copied many gigabytes of files from an NTFS USB hard drive during the same boot without issues.

Could you please elaborate what you did and what kind of corruption happened?

We are doing very exhaustive testing (http://ntfs-3g.org/ quality.html) before all public driver releases and we're not aware of any corruption problem, nor we
have been reported using the latest driver, version 1.2412.

The only issue I can imagine is if the thumbdrive wasn't properly unmounted
before removal. This can cause I/O errors like described at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#ioerror

NTFS is case preserving and case sensitive in the NTFS POSIX filename space what NTFS-3G uses. This may confuse some Windows applications but unfortunately there isn't anything we could do about it, because exactly the same thing happen when one uses the Microsoft NTFS driver to do the same. No difference. More at
