So just to re-iterate:

1. I believe the file system is not being cleanly umounted.
2. data=journal saved us from disaster because it works so well.

My recommendation is to keep data=journal because a user can power off the device (battery death, pulling out battery, random kernel reboot, etc) and data=journal has conclusively shown it the only RELIABLE way to ensure data and metadata are sane.

I really would like to warn against fixing this bug by doing the umount and changing back to the faster but definitely less rugged data=ordered option. I think that would really be too risky IMHO.
