Is this an unpatched kernel? ie.
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&inode->i_data.private_list));

Definitely no other filesystems? Too bad frame pointers are turned off,
but it seems perhaps default evict_inode is being used, which doesn't
do invalidate_inode_buffers(). ext2/3/4/fat/udf all seem to do the right
thing here, though.

If it's happening semi frequently, could you compile a vanilla 2.6.37
with the same .config, just turn on frame pointers, and report if it
happens again?

Dumping the inode->i_ops symbol name before going BUG in fact
might be helpful too.

Thanks,
Nick
