Had it happen today.  On ext3 btw RH box used in our "demo" section. 
seems it just didn't want me to move the file.  FTP "stuttered" during a
file transfer and poof I have an unreadable unusable file.  Doing the
rescue disk I was able to remove it.  In fact just for fun I copied the
hosed file to another directory and guess what.. Yep 2 hosed files! 
Dunno.
