Does the server have ECC RAM?  Possibly it's a bitflip somewhere before
the data got to disk.

Low amounts of RAM are going to increase the IO load but shouldn't
otherwise impact the filesystem consistency.  I have a FreeBSD test
system that's running ZFS in <1GB RAM and rebuilding itself daily for
multiple years and haven't run into any ZFS corruption issues.
