I've found the time to track this down a bit further. It's all not a
bug in the kernel or NFS it seems. It's more likely a gcc compiler
regression. All kernels built with gcc 4.8.0 can easily reproduce file
system corruption here. I've build a 3.0.80 kernel with gcc 4.7.3 and
it doesn't show this bug.

I'll bring this to the gcc bug tracker. Still no clue how to help them
tracking this down further.
