There's nothing wrong with a swap partition on the RAID. What I was suggesting was maybe you were using SWAP on a hard partition which perhaps overlapped with part of the physical volumes for the RAID. I'm not sure, but clearly it sounds like you have corruption showing up on your LVM device. Why that is the case is hard to say, but partition table misconfiguration is certainly one of the possibilities.
Ubuntu is free distribution, which means best efforts support for bug reports. If you pay for commercial support (which Canonical may or may not provide, but certainly companies like Red Hat, Novell, IBM, HP, all provide), you'll get someone who will respond right away, and say, "You know, this really doesn't like an e2fsprogs bug"; and help you determine whether it's a hardware problem, or maybe a LVM device driver problem, or maybe a user configuration problem. To have someone who can do this well and with a fast response time takes time, and money; training someone who can diplomatically suggest that maybe the Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair (PEBKAC) without truly pissing off the customer is difficult, and you pay the really good people who can do OS root cause problem determination a very good salary. So here, when a bug report gets filed as an e2fsprogs bug, I as the upstream volunteer will do a quick scan of the queue, see common themes, and or things that are clearly bugs, and try to deal with them. Ubuntu's bug scanning folks don't scan very frequently, and fair enough --- this is a freebie service for them, and they are primarily focused on making the distribution better, as opposed to making sure someone isn't walking away from an expensive 7x24 support contract.
