I have been having the same problem and other related ones (various other
assertions in dir.c). I understand this code well, and have added some
more hacks in my tree to print out more info and so forth. But I haven't
made any real progress in figuring it out.
I too am using vmware and have no other machine to try. This has gotten so
bad, in fact, that I have given up trying to get my vmware hurd
installation back into shape for now, since it got frotzed and I run into
these ext2fs problems before apt can install enough of a system to be
useful (though I got much further than this before, in the same vmware setup).
I am currently suspecting either some memory clobberation in ext2fs,
or vmware bugs that cause the virtual machine's memory to be clobbered.
