Can I use `mdb_dump | mdb_load` (roughly) to get the db back to a stable state?  Any ideas what is going on?  I have no idea how to reproduce this bug, so I'm not sure what to put in a bug report... and I can't share the db.

Try using mdb_dump to get a backup instead, see if it succeeds or complains.
