Since this hasn't been reproduced in a long long time,
I'm closing it.

This is in hurd 20040508-2. I wonder why nobody noticed it before.

Sometimes st_nlink is reported as big number, like 135790593. Lower 16 bits are always correct, and high 16 bits, if they are corrupted, are in range 0x815-0x818. rpctrace shows that ext2fs/libdiskfs is to be blamed, not glibc or programs.

ls -l many times shows unstable behaviour. Sometimes all is correct. Sometimes for a given time specific files have corrupted st_nlink, and this changes after some time. Sometimes each ls -l gives different corrupted st_nlink:s.
