Not necessarily during a bgfsck, just the filesystem is not clean, so
bgfsck will run.

Usually it will continue, if not, you will be the first or know ;)

Watch (tail -F) /var/log/messages, after login, if you get something
strange there (like unexpected softupdate inconsistency, run fsck
manually or fsck drops core) or if on the next reboot it happens again
boot is single user and run fsck.
