I had only used 3.0.4 with bonnie++ to reproduce. 3.1-rc was running on
a prod. system.

Sadly i'm also not able to reproduce it reliable on every partition.
Sometimes it works sometimes not. Just retrying does not help. I had to
copy and delete random files from the part. and then start bonnie++ on
it. Perhaps i can give you a dd dump of the partition. But i had to
recreate one. My Intel SSD is now massivly slower than when i started
the tests. No idea why.
