Yes, this is the danger when running bg fsck and your system experiences a panic or other non-softupdates-safe source of filesystem corruption. As you discovered, the solution is to force a fsck to repair all corruption and then proceed (optionally disabling bg fsck permanently to prevent a recurrence ;-) Kris
