I think I have seen this once or twice in the past. A reboot always made it go away and it didn't seem to come back. fsck never showed anything so I assumed it was just the kernel having lost its mind about the state of the FS.
I think I was using 2.4.18 or so at the time I last saw it. It is quite a while ago but it was ext3 as well as far as I recall.
I originally thought my df and company was messed up (since I think I have seen a case on sparc where the libc/df were out of sync causing weird output).
I never thought much about it since it didn't seem to be reproduceable since it never repeated itself.
