Sorry to say that it is not.  If I encounter it again, i'll dd it up and
gzip it (and open a new bug).  I didn't think -p isn't supposed to actually
examine the filesystem beyond the clean flag.  As such the question is
really how did the filesystem get corrupt yet keep the clean flag at the
next boot?  Perhaps a double hard-cold-reset could cause that -- that is
exactly what happened at one point, possibly during an fsck.  Perhaps when
routines like dscheck detect errors, the dirty flag can be forced to be set
and cause unmount to refuse to clear it?
