a quick check from the changelogs for XFS:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/1.1_changelog.html

"Removed most synchronous transactions - faster deletes, fewer chances
for null files after a crash!"

but if its been done at the VFS layer aswell, maybe it was the
combination for me which caused it to happen more frequently.
