I'd like to point out that I am seeing data corruption events due to
this issue. It appears that once the files are mangled they cannot be
decrypted and end up showing up as null. This is a very serious problem
as there is no way to retrieve the data.

A quick search with `find ~ -type f -exec tail -n1 {} \; > /dev/null'
indicates a large number of frequently written configuration files,
database files and temporary lock files which are now unreadable with
-EIO error returned.
