I also have this problem. System: RedHat 7.2. As an extension, any symlink I (either manually of from a script) have created since after completing the install, results in a dangling symlink. Is it possible there could be a problem with the ext3 drivers?
The problem isn't ext3-specific. I see it on ext2 filesystems.
