Have you tried remaking the journal with tune2fs -j ?

I've never tried this on a filesystem with an already existing journal 
(corrupt or otherwise) but it may rebuild the journal from scratch (which 
would be the smart thing for it to do).

** Backup before trying this or anything else **

You may wish to take a copy of the filesystem with dd, mount it loopback 
and experiment there, if you can afford the space.
