I have finally discovered what's going on here--at least, somewhat. I
discovered that, when I encounter this bug, the Adblock Plus Firefox
extension is in some kind of loop constantly rewriting one of its
filter ini files. If I constantly $(ls -l) in the directory, I can
see the same file
Oddly enough, I've never been able to reproduce this bug until today
while I was testing a fix for another bug. I've written a fix an built a
set of amd64 test kernels, one for Precise and one for Quantal. If
you're interested in giving one of the test kernels a try, you can find
them here:

3.3.0 kernel and ext4. I tried rebooting into 3.2.11, and still see the
same problem. I've been running this setup for quite a while, so
somewhere along the line, something broke recently.
As soon as I start Firefox 11, my
Update:
Here's an example of this happening (as root, after logging in as my
user, running firefox, and logging out):

Tyler, I saw your work on other eCryptfs bugs, so I added you to this

ecryptfs-utils, so I'm switching it back.
** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) = ecryptfs
