If you didn't enable the synchronous UBD access (near to the UBD options in 
the kernel configuration), that's almost expected, as the help explains 
(IIRC), for journaled filesystems (although some people claim ext3 does not 
need it, and this could be true, even because reiserfs works like ext3 
"data=writeback" mode, which is less safe than the default ext3 
"data=ordered").

In either case, give more info, so we know if this is a "no-bug" or if we 
should investigate it.
