If I try to verify the pack I get:

the package length seems reasonable, however... (no evident sign of
truncation, but I haven't looked inside the index to check the exact positions
of objects)...

Can you make the corrupt pack-file and index available publically (or 
perhaps at least to a few git people?)

The fact that verify-pack is happy with the SHA1 checksum is interesting, 
because it means that the pack-file at least didn't get corrupted on-disk 
(or through the sync operation). Iow, it must have gotten corrupted at 
write-out itself somehow, and it would be interesting to see what the 
pack-file looks like.

and git unpack-object dies with error code -3 in inflate...

That's Z_DATA_ERROR, which is what you get if the input to inflate is bad.
