This is all useful information, but not germane to Jonas' problem.

He did the following:

ran DiskWarrior on the system. Successful, meaning no version problems.
ran Applejack on the same system. Successful.
ran DiskWarrior again on the same system, DW errors out saying the  
directory is damaged.

Applejack is changing SOMETHING that DW looks at. I don't know how AJ  
actually does its thing, it's possible it's leaving discrepancies in  
the directory that don't cause problems but do trigger the DW issue.

This is why I suggested he try runnign Disk Utility and repairing the  
disk, just to see what it says. If DU says the disk is fine, my  
feeling is that it's a bug in DW. However, I'd wager that DU will say  
'Minor repairs made'.
