Actually this is hardly a surprise and your experience hardly unique. Hans Reiser himself does not feel his filesystem is anything other than experimental and prone to failure. He has said this many times concerning both the filesystem itself and the toolset for repair. Since he feels this way; it is easy to understand that his filesystem can be prone to failure in surprising and unexpected ways. Buyer beware applies here.
