I'll send you the image off-list.

Yes, I expanded a tar to the disk when triggering the hard reboot (without 
shutdown). This seems to increase the rate of failure. But also normal shutdown 
might cause similar problems, when the acpi powerdown is done quickly, perhaps 
before all caches were written to disk successfully. I have had two occurrences 
where a normal shutdown of a system with disk encryption caused data corruption 
in dpkg state list, which were not modified during that session. Probably the 
last modifications of syslog et al. before unmounts did not make it to the disk 
cleanly.

By the way, since this can be reproduced at least on Ubuntu lucid, I filed a 
bugreport there to have a first identifier:
