Take your database file, pre-VACUUM, and use the command-line tool to .dump it, and .read the dump back in. If you get the same error message on the resulting copy, you've definitely found a bug in SQLite. I don't know where the bug is most likely to lie, but knowing the result of this will definitely establish there's a bug somewhere, and that the 'database disk image is malformed' message is misguiding.
