In case anyone was wondering, I figured it out ...

debugfs -w ... to remove/clear tricky files/directories/inodes from lost+found 
(especially that troublesome inode) 

Other useful commands were ...
dumpe2fs ... to find out block info, see where things lived (also mke2fs -n for 
similar info)
e2fsck -b ... to use a back up superblock  
tune2fs -j ... to rebuild the ext3 journal
