Even though there are no disk-related messages, still reiserfs sees a failed write
to journal which is obviously bad.

I do not know who to blame here. Try to heavily write to loop device itself (without using
reiserfs) to see if something will break? Or bettr yet - upgrade to newer kernel and see if that's
cures your problem?
