Answering my own post. It seems that the problem was due to the knoppix-data.img is sitted on top of the ntfs, and the ntfs itself is somehow corrupted. I booted on Windows, and scheduled a file system check. Upon reboot, the chkdsk fixed all the file system errors, and as result mounting knoppix-data.img as ext3 does not hang anymore.
As for why knoppix is mounting knoppix-data.img as ext2, it is a matter of historical reason than anything else, I think.
