Well, traps in OS2LVM (your other bug) and filesystem corruption (this
one) make my think there's something about the storage model in use.
Try a different one. I'm probably the last person ever to make changes
to any of that code, and that was like 15 years ago. I doubt that
anyone anywhere even has a build/debug environment set up any more. 
Anyhow, if changing the guests's storage device model doesn't work,
then you could also try hacking in the old OS2DASD, OS2LVM, IBM1S506
(iirc), and HPFS.  Good luck.
