Yes, with the same error about  bytes needed for inphead.

Something wicked must have happened to the filesystem when the  
hardware raid failed one disk too many.

What surprised me most is that FreeBSD 5.4 simply stops doing  
anything at all at a certain point. Maybe I should find a 4.x disk  
and see what fsck gives me.

This partition would be an interesting one for filesystem developers,  
if only there weren't all those private mailboxes on it :)
