Have seen this a few times as well.
It wasn't corrected automatically for whatever reason, but a manual
fsck always fixed it.
I'm not sure if it happend because of a crash or under normal load,
because I always noticed it after some kind of unintended reboot.
IIRC it was always a power failure, but I'm not 100% sure.
