I actually conducted some tests last week (also with aes-cbc-essiv) but wasn't able to reproduce the two errors (tested it on the same computer, with the same USB-sticks, same commands, kernel 2.6.24 etc.). I'm not sure if I should be glad about this,.. because I definitely had those two problems, but of course it's still possible (though I consider it unlikely) that there were hardware problems. Today I copied a complete Debian installation (about 6 GB) from an unencrypted partition to a luks/dm-crypt partition with aes-xts-plain (according the Herbert Xu plain is the "most secure" and it's not required to use the benbi mode for the IV generation). I had no problems with this mode, too. Best wishes, Chris.
