I thought had responded to Trevor personally earlier (Trevor, my apologies if somehow you didn't get my note, if that's why you then sent mail to linux-kernel).
From his description, it seemed pretty clear that something had scribbled over the beginning of the inode table, which is why there was trash in inode #5, and large number of inodes were in /lost+found.
If this happened purely because of an unclean shutdown (which is what I believe he said), then there was something really strange happening with his hardware indeed, since disks should scribble over random places on the disk, even if they get powered down in the middle of a write request.....
