Hm, that issue seemed like a bigger one, and he said it was working fine using the same database on a normal partition instead of a loopback device. And that running fsck on the loopback device fixed the problem. So like Dan said, it looked more like a filesystem issue, and it's not clear pacman made anything wrong in that case.
But for the error I'm describing, it's clearly pacman which is in fault, and by the way, this error appeared in a bug you reported :) (but for a different issue : wrong permission on /tmp) : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7197
LOL, I did notice it at that time, but because of another issue just forgot about it. :-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
