I think I need an mtdoops partition to catch anything useful from CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DEBUG.
Too much output for the console. It slows it down so much that it doesn't trigger the panic.

It is triggered by an application that writes a file (about 6MB large) to the jffs2 file system.
It replaces an old file and the use percentage on the file system is high so it triggers
a lot of erases while it's writing. The panic happens before I see any failed erases.

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock2           15616     13780      1836  88% /flash

The panic occurs at fs/jffs2/file.c:251 which is
BUG_ON(!PageUptodate(pg));
