The phrasing was a bit positive. Just check the bug tracker [1] where a good 
deal of FS corruptions have been reported. Being a journaling FS BFS shouldn't 
be corruptable at all (save for file content which isn't journaled, and of 
course hardware-caused issues). So there's very likely a bug somewhere. 
Probably more than one.
