No. What about an unclean reboot followed by more valid writes? You end
up with the broken node in the middle.

The GC already doesn't delete _anything_ until all inodes have been
checked. In fact I suppose it _could_ proceed, checking each inode only
as and when it encounters a node belonging to that inode... but that
would generally screw up the accounting totals and make my head hurt so
it wasn't done that way.
