[ You really should switch to a decent mailer that e.g. breaks lines
  before column 136. ;) ]

For 'normal' filesystems, this bug is solved in __sync_single_inode by
writing out pages first and the inode later.  Works well enough for
ext[23] at least.

So I agree, JffS2 should behave at least as well.
