On the box where plocate.db is currently corrupted, /home is a btrfs.

It it by any chance a subvolume? (If so, known btrfs bug/design issue;
see the updatedb.conf man page.)

I thinks it's the root volume on its FS (name = <FS_TREE>)

root@hitchhiker:/home/alain# btrfs subvolume show /home

But in any case, I've now set PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS to "no", lets see in a 
couple of days whether that helps.
