Seems something is blocking the bus (which means the clock or the data line is 
at fixed low level). Does this error disappear when you power cycle the 
board?

Yes. The I2C hardware reports it cannot control the I2C lines.

If it is a software bug you can try a more recent kernel. Or take a look into 
the kernel's GIT repository if the driver got some patches since 3.0 which 
deals with this event. Driver's source file 
is "drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-s3c2410.c".

The kernel in the current Mini2440-BSP-GIT repository is 3.8.5. Maybe this 
bug/error/misbehaviour is already fixed.
