I had the exact same issue, with an 8gb SD card on my EeePc 701. I thought my SD card was bad, but its not. I haven't written anything to the card since I reformatted it, and the problem went away. Reading your account, I have a feeling that the issue will return if I write to the card again. Very strange.
