According to another thread Nathan just responded to, it sounds like we need to wait for a new version of the xfsprogs package, and then run xfs_repair on the affected filesystems. I wouldn't worry about it too much if you've not had any crashes. The damage can be repaired, just not right now.
I'm still waiting for a crash on a machine that has been under heavy load for 28 days, so it's obviously not _that_ easy to trigger.
