I worked with Joey on IRC to track this down.

This situation occurs when 0-byte files are created in the underlying
filesystem.

It's not entirely clear to me under what circumstances this can happen.
Previously, this was caused by EXT4 errors.  I haven't seen those in
practice now in over 6 months.  Perhaps there's something else wrong.

In any case, you can solve this for yourself by making sure that the
0-byte files are not in use, and then deleting them.

Something like this might help:

for i in find $(mount | grep " on $HOME type ecryptfs" | awk '{print $1}') 
-size 0c; do
  if ! fuser -v $i; then
    rm -f $i
  fi
done

Then clear your dmesg with:
 sudo dmesg -c

And see if they come back...
