Hm, suggestive, but I'm not convinced. Two differences to this situation:

1. Immediately after the clone ("untar"), the contents are completely
OK; it's only after a umount/mount cycle to problems appear
2. There's no corruption as such; the files are just too short. And
it seems they're at a previously OK length, not some random size.
