Have you been able to reproduce it more recently than that? I hit it once a couple of months ago, but I was was busy with much higher priority stuff at the time (sorting out a CVE-worthy bug fix) so it slipped off my radar pretty rapidly after I recovered the test system and kept doing what I needed to do... So, yeah, the problems are still there, I just don't run my root filesystems out of space very often. Like I said - maybe once or twice a year is the typical frequency this happens.
