I'm assuming from the lists you've posted to that this is under KVM? 
What disk drivers are you using (virtio or emulated)?

Can you get a full stack backtrace of kjournald?

Kevin Bowling submitted a RH bug against Xen with apparently the same
symptoms (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526627).  I'm
wondering if there's a core kernel bug here, which is perhaps more
easily triggered by the changed timing in a virtual machine.

Thanks,
