Yes.  This newly-added BUG check was too easy to trigger and in test10 it
was changed to a printk-and-fix-it-up.

And it is this stuff which triggered the bogus BUG.  I do not know why this
happened, but it is probably some form of data loss problem at the md
layer.

It could have happened at any time after the most recent fsck, so if you
have been running earlier kernels on that machine it could even be that the
bug which caused this has already been fixed.

You should run a fsck across all filesystems, and maybe upgrade to test10
plus ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.0-test10-bk1.gz
