Comment (by axeld):

I just had a similar issue: I changed the DriveEncryption driver to dump
more data to the syslog. While it was busy mounting BFS (which took a
while, since it scans the complete bitmap on startup once), I installed
some software package, and ended up with an activated-packages file of the
correct length (according to those found in older states), but with part
of the contents of the syslog file I tailed into a Terminal.

Since the file system was not corrupted, this means it's very likely that
the file cache mixed up its pages somehow.
