I can't tell for corruption (well, I did _once_ have a file written from
linux appearing corrupted on macos), but I know HFS has some nasty locking
bugs. At least on SMP kernels, it can easily lockup the box.
One problem with writing filesystems for linux is that the locking rules
and the underlying cache semantics keep changing.
