My best guess is that the drive or file system is broken.
I can connect the drive to a working system and apply fsck.

other things to notice -- for example, the file should be considered to
be part of the file system structure and compressed, which fsck should
loudly complain about (not verified).
The large values with peculiar bit patterns do look like some flag

I don't believe that it is a disk error - the file system is on a RAID1
partition and the RAID consistency is checked regularly.
I also find it hard to believe that it is a RAM error - the mashine has
run memtest86+ overnight without finding anything.

So how do you delete a subvolume? Why isn't the path adjusted when

Not necessarily. The question is: found by what ?
The computer's firmware (BIOS or EFI, i assume) will ignore such an ISO 9660

ows.
I guess a versioning file system (as discussed here fairly recently)
would help, but I don't have one.
Eventually I solved it with a script which examines a set of files (I
specify a pattern for those) in the folder I'm working in. When it
starts and every few second
don't recall having problems with the VAX/VMS file system versioning
feature. But, perhaps my use-case was simple enough that that I never
ran into trouble. What problems did you have with it?

Yes. If the major hack can be limited to one file, I've been known to
rely on Vim's undo capability
