Obviously, ext3 was not consistent after replaying the journal which
should never happen. Do you have somewhere available the original
filesystem image or at least messages from fsck when fixing the
filesystem?

Unfortunately, no. I did not think of logging the fsck output :( I
recall hitting 'y' to fix about 30 things, with the last fixes being
something like superblocks not matching each other which I hadn't seen
before. This machine had also been hard powered off at least 5 times
before in the last few months (due to nvidia lockups).
