It seems to be a completely unrelated bug to the one fixed by the aforementioned patch, that only manifests when you use a filesystem with a different block size to the CPU page size. Somehow I created a filesystem with 1K blocks on my testbox instead of the default 4K.

(And yes, it affects 2.6.18 [and probably still .19rc1] too).

Work is ongoing to get to the bottom of this.
