This looks like filesystem corruption. It could be caused by some problem with dm-crypt, or it could be caused by a data error on the storage media or on the path from the media to the CPU. Encryption could turn a single bit error into substantial changes all over the block. I recommend you 'fsck' dm-6 and see how bad it is, and if the problem is repeatable or transient. I don't think this problem could be caused by mdadm or md/raid0. If there would bugs there, you would get much more consistent errors.
