David, It sounds like you had a corruption in memory. I'd run some thorough diagnostics on the server.
The error was reported because Oracle was requesting relative dba 0x0a877fd8. The block it received, however, contained rdba 0x0b801ea2 Oracle records the rdba in the block itself so it can verify that the block it received is actually the block it requested. The fact that analyze table validate structure cascade didn't report any errors tells me that the block is OK on disk, but it was corrupted either while or after being read into memory. Furthermore from the info in the error message it is only the rdba's that are inconsistent as the info from the header and the tail of the block are consistent. Yet another reason why I suspect a hardware glitch.
