What was reiserfsck version?

Hm, sounds like FS corruption.

We'd be interested in metadata snapshot
(debugreiserfs -p /dev/your_device | bzip2 -9c >metadata.bz2).
You probably can even do this on readonly-mounted device.
Probably it will even work on read-write mounted device, but
make sure no much write activity is performed on that fs at the time
of snapshot. Also avoid writing metadata to the same fs you are taking
this metadata from ;)
