I'm seeing the same behavior here.
libreoffice-3.6.6.2 on a mostly stable system.
btrfs on lvm on dmcrypt on a hybrid disk.
kernel 3.7.5 pf-sources.

I don't think is has anything to do with the file system or hardware.
make is eating 200M memory and uses 100% CPU, not mkdir. I guess the
script is just buggy.
