This seems to be related to kernel initiated file I/O to the quota file being handled in a rather (unexpected) way. I think it would help to slightly modify the in core super block and keep the quota file as a real rather than a virtual open instance. I also think making the file largers so that a quota record won't cause it to expand would work around the problem for now.
