I finally found a reproducer, that triggers the fault with approx ~3 reboots on 
my machine. The normal fsck 1.1.12 does not report any errors, but inode file 
with "stale NFS lock" is added to /lost+found. Running the 1.1.15 fsck on this 
already 1.1.12 checked fs in normal mode does not repair the fault. Both fix it 
when running them in forced mode.

I also managed to reproduce it after replacing fsck.jfs system-wide with 1.1.15 
and managed to capture an example on a 20MB test image. Following two commands 
report the fault before mounting it when using a loop device.

if ! fsck.jfs "${loopDev}" || ! jfs_fsck -n  "${loopDev}"; then
  echo "Fsck failed!" >&2
  exit 1
fi

Since the first fsck works, the volume can be mounted. Result:

./usr:
total 0
drwx------ 3 root root 8 2011-04-08 07:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 8 2011-04-08 07:34 ..
?????????? ? ?    ?    ?                ? bin

I will try to reproduce it also without loop device, to see if this affects the 
outcome. Should I send you (or someone else interested in debugging) the disk 
image off-list? I have also upstart-based example that triggers test reboots 
via sysrequest, should be suitable to reproduce it on your systems,
