I'd almost have to say that this is a bad block on your ESDI drive.
Up to now, we haven't done bad-block remapping though we're about to
add it into 2.0.5.

This is a good clue - it does indeed like your drive has developed a
bad block.  Would you be willing to try the 2.0.5 release candidate
which we should have in a few days?  It has bad144 support.
