Thanks for the hint, Michael. I've just checked the SMART status on
both disks and the 4kb drive looks indeed suspicious:

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0012   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       8
198 Offline_Uncorrectable   0x0010   100   100   000    Old_age   Offline      -       8

The 512 byte drive appears to be fine. But I'm running the long
SMART self test on both of them right now and will report back
the result in a few hours.
