ReiserFS wasn't the most robust filesystem. I think that it should be EXECTED that a kernel will have to occasionally deal with filesystem images that are created by hostile parties. Userspace crash and kernel freeze is not a suitable way of dealing with it.
Just because something shouldn't be possible in a 'real world' environment, doesn't mean it won't happen; never underestimate the ability of hardware to fail in new and unexpected ways, or the ability of administrators to make stupid mistakes.
