Yo Yo, I can double confirm this.
I am running a Dell Vostro 1500

I did a install of 7.10 server to get LVM.
Created all my partitions and formatted them with reiserfs - no special options.
I only copied over my home forlder from my old laptop.

Once I had the server install done, I did a "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
During this I had bounced the laptop a couple of times - no problem.
I then went to Hardy - which release I don't know - and bounced the laptop a 
couple of times fine.

Then after another bounce I got the the following error

My /dev/rootvg/opt and /dev/rootvg/home were corrupt.
Please note, this was after a successful shutdown - no power failures, no 
crashes, it all shutdown as fine as Scarlet Johanson
I ran the fsck on opt and it said it need the --rebuild-tree option - which I 
did and which still didn't fix the problem.  When you try to mount it says

~# mount /dev/rootvg/opt /opt/
mount: Operation not supported

After a mkfs.reiserfs it works fine.
On my home directory, it did a fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree -S /dev/rootvg/home
Hours later, I could mount home, alas it only had one folder - "lost+found"
Inside where all my files in this format
47417_47512
47466_47486
47466_48276
47472_47915
47483_48277
47489_47490
47489_47574
47491_47559
47491_5978
47499_48278
47527_47521

It appears the files are all there, just jumbled around.
I started moving them back and thought "what if this happens again".  So, I 
stopped, rebooted and it hit me again.
I did a second --rebuild-tree -S and I then changed my /etc/fstab file to this

/dev/mapper/rootvg-home /home           reiserfs defaults
0       0

I haven't had it happen to my home again.
Since the change, I haven't had any problems with my home partition, but I 
still get the problem on opt - so I simply commented it out in the /ect/fstab 
file.

It appears there a boxing match between reiserfs and lvm and, what I am
guessing is the superblocks.
