You can try, (the old package should still be on snapshot.debian.org),
but I really doubt you will be able to reproduce it.

I have discussed with the dpkg developers, providing them the info you
gave me, but it seems very unlikely to be a problem there. In the worst
case scenario, the files would still contains the old content, which 
should have been identical (and thus not buggy).

It is most probably a bug in the kernel, I encourage you to upgrade to
your kernel to the latest version in sid, especially if you are using an
SSD, as it contains a few ext4 fixes.
