In linux-2.6.31, I have tested ext3 similarly for only one minutes.
With "sleep 5" between remounts, I could see no messages from fsck.
But without "sleep 5", ext3 reports
        EXT3-fs: ram0: couldn't remount RDWR because of unprocessed
        orphan inode list.  Please umount/remount instead.
and fsck says
        Deleted inode 53 has zero dtime.  Fix? no
        Block bitmap differences:  -615
        Inode bitmap differences:  -53
        Directories count wrong for group #0 (47, counted=46).

I don't know these messages are related to your problem, but I'd suggest
you to try mounting your device as ext2 instead of ext3 (your don't need
to re-run mkfs), and see what will happen.
