Bad directories w/Reiserfs on linux-2.6.0-test4

Hello,
This is about the third time I've seen this error on recent kernels:
Sometimes my directories, say dir/subdir, become dir//subdir. This
confuses many tools and I've even experienced some 'D' state processes trying
to access such a directory. My most recent problem is that even though 'ls -
l' shows dir/subdir ... 'rm -r' thinks it's dir//subdir and refuses to remove
it. Confusingly, however, 'mv' works and I can move the directory around.
Also cd'ing into the directory is fine too.
$ ls -l
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 3 jesse users 72 Sep 10 14:47 datatable-backup
$ cd datatable-backup; ls -l
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 jesse users 256 Sep 10 15:10 CVS
$ rm -r datatable-backup/
rm: cannot remove directory `datatable-backup//CVS': Directory not empty
I've attached the strace file

$ strace rm -r datatable-backup/
