We are not aware of any NTFS-3G bug. If you check out http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html then you can find that there are many problems which are attributed to NTFS-3G when in fact they are not related to any file system in any way.

About the maturity of the 9 years old NTFS-3G code base see http://lwn.net/Articles/316471/

Unfortunately we, NTFS-3G developers, don't share your view about the stability of the Windows NTFS driver. There are many ways to crash Windows via the NTFS file system driver. In fact Microsoft documents that system crash is expected for instance if NTFS is corrupted. This is completely unacceptable for us. NTFS-3G survives millions of fsfuzz iterations.

I think our test suite is one of the most extensive ones in the industry (it's not complete list): http://ntfs-3g.org/quality.html Besides we are maintaining the PJD POSIX file system test suit as well: http://ntfs-3g.org/pjd-fstest.html what of course our advanced driver fully passes.
