I've sen this, too. The only thing that I could attribute it to, is
unexpected power-downs by:
- Removing battery
- Very low power and subsequent emergency power down

Whenever I his this, I reflashed, but about a week or 2 ago, I just
rebooted again. To my amazement, the file system somehow 'restored'
itself and got mounted rw.

After that incident, I've run into a few other 'mounted ro' situations
(power consumtion seems to've gone _way_ up lately!!), and I've had
this 'reboot and pray' situation pay off every time up to now.

I haven't checked what happens when I start up w/ debug messages. I'll
try (I forgot to take my phone with me today!! :-( )

Me neither, not even with a password that I'd see as 'strong enough'.
Ah well, it's in the bug tracker, I think...
