It did, and with a lot fewer scary messages (no -P or -m was necessary):

http://ue.tst.eu/f3860347ab2147d87fdf8f961d6d4358.txt

afterwards, I had the contents of the single directory that caused issues
in lost+found, and no unreadable directories left.

So definitely a regression in 3.1.4.

Thanks a lot for your all your input - I will reformat the partition soon
and restore the files, assuming that the lenny xfs_repair destroyed any
evidence.
