Here are two verbose outputs.
One comparing a dir, the other a problem file in that dir.
The long path component has been shortened to '/.../'.
The files in question are:
# src, aka: NULL
3022430 0 crw-r----- 2 0 0 - 9, 67 Oct 11 00:23:14 2007 fd1.1440
3022430 0 crw-r----- 2 0 0 - 9, 67 Oct 11 00:23:14 2007 rfd1.1440
# dst, aka: a30
6561068 0 crw-r----- 2 0 0 - 31, 67 Oct 11 00:23:14 2007 fd1.1440
6561068 0 crw-r----- 2 0 0 - 31, 67 Oct 11 00:23:14 2007 rfd1.1440
The braces is a zsh expando, left of comma, then right of comma.

If I rsync from either of these two existing paths into an empty
/tmp/d/, it makes the major 31. Should be 9.
If I rsync from the running /dev/ into an empty /tmp/d/, it makes
the major 78. Should be 9.
Same for from /dev/ to /x/ (same filesystem aka: 'root').
Tar picks up the differences, tar -clf - ... | tar -dpf - .
This system has been fine for ages, no problems evident with it,
reboot, fsck, dmesg, etc... all clean.
